THE SICILIAN BOSS (1979)

Da Corleone a Brooklyn

Directed by Umberto Lenzi

Starring

Maurizio Merli, Mario Merola, Van Johnson, Biagio Pelligra, Ventantino Venantini, Nando Marineo, Salvatore Billa and Sonia Viviani

After secretly relocating to New York from Polermo under a false identity and passport, a mafia boss is intent on settling old scores back in the old country. Meanwhile back in Rome, a cop (Maurizio Merli) is investigating one of the hit jobs and suspects a Sicilian connection which takes him to Palermo.

When the cop captures a criminal who can identify the mafia boss, the two of them start a journey across unfamiliar territory from Italy to New York. If they can last through mafia traps and violent encounters, the thug can testify and the the boss can be extradited back to Italy.

Written and directed by Umberto Lenzi (Make Them Die Slowly), his last entry into the euro-crime action genre is this lost classic and he definitely goes out with a bang. The film moves at a brisk pace with the Mafia in pursuit of Merli and his witness so the viewer never knows when they will next be attacked or by what method.

INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted (1989)

Directed by David Lynch

Performance Filmed at

THE BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC OPERA HOUSE

In 1989, the Brooklyn Academy of Music approached David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti to create a special performance to open their New Wave Music Festival.

Taking the title from a collection of his works produced while he was at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Lynch and Badalamenti worked Julee Cruise's music together with various imagery to produce a unique concert performance.

To open the piece, Lynch shot a new film sequence of a phone conversation between a guy and girl breaking up, featuring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern with whom he was currently shooting Wild At Heart. From there, the dreamself of the heartbroken woman (Julee Cruise) floats through the air over an industrial wasteland singing ballads of love.
