The debut film for director-writer James Toback has developed a cult following over the years but was one of three 1978 films that put a damper on Harvey Keitel's career for more than a decade. In this overheated brew of testosterone and male sensitivity, Keitel plays the son of a fading mob boss; Dad forces him to work as a leg-breaker collecting bad debts while Mom wants him to pursue a career as a classical pianist. Isn't this how Van Cliburn got his start? Keitel rides an emotional roller coaster, torn between parental poles even as he faces the audition that could launch him on the concert circuit. Oh, and for good measure, he starts to suffer doubts about his own manhood, thanks to an encounter with ex-footballer Jim Brown. Strictly for Toback and Keitel aficionados. --Marshall Fine

FINGERS (1977) is not a traditional horror movie, as in the genre,
but in the reaction that is imparted to the audience, as the action
unfolds over 90 minutes, with Keitel trying to pull himself out of
his station in life, as a collector of illegal debts that went bad
despite showing an innate talent in collections.
He tries to make the leap forward to a professional pianist, hoping
to perform at the famous Carnegie Hall one day. Unfortunately, the
character ... Read More

Director James Toback are to interracial relationships what Oliver Stone is to Vietnam. In this early effort, sponsored no less by Brut cologne, Harvey Keitel rehearses his lifelong cycle of variations as the bad lieutenant by playing this round, a bad Glenn Gould. The translucent Tisa Farrow (Mia's better half) personifies the complex seventies New York female artist, while Keitel, armed with Gouldish chattering teeth, begins his battle against on the cinematic motif of the piano, chosing this round, to ...

"Fingers" is solid 1970s character study starring Harvey Keitel as conflicted man struggling to unite his disparate persona. On one hand, he's a talented musician who loves to listen to Bach and carries a boombox around so that he can listen to 60s R&B. However, he's also a violent thug who does his even more brutal father's bidding. The movie follows his character over a few days as he attempts to resolve who he is and what he stands for in life. It's a short, dark film that's very good to great in nearly ... Read More

This is a movie that seems abstract though it isn't.
It follows the main character who is a talented pianist and also has a lot of connection to the crime world. He also has a prostitute love interest.
It doesn't do much to examine the relationships between these 3 aspects of his life. It pretty much shows him being a bumbling loser in all 3 of the aspects pretty much separately.
I didn't feel much direction to his motivations or point of the story. To me, it felt as watching ... Read More

Harvey Keitel rules---Toback makes sure that NYC circa 1978 is not mistaken by those who had the luxury to see what was all about NYC at that point in time...The most impotant actor during that period of NYC "movie-dom" (regardless of Woody and Martin) is Keitel. . .He's never been a product of "witness protection", while he's blown away as a pimp, or a free-base detective--Good night, rradiof
