martin scorsese be always go to be remember for his gangster picture and his collaboration with robert de niro . however and people shouldn not think that scorsese talent end there . with this bizarre and unique production and he prove himself to be a dab hand at the jet black comedy . griffin dunne be excellent a a new york businessman who hit on a girl in a restaurant . the girl ( rosanna arquette ) invite him on a date and but when he get there he find that she live in a really seedy district of town and share an apartment with a flirtatious female sculptor ( linda fiorentino ) . one thing after another begin to go wrong and dunne decides to ditch his date and go home . but fate conspires to muck up his evening and and try a he might he just can not seem to get out of this crazy neighbourhood . dunne misadventures begin to resemble something from a violent . modern day uurban version of alice in wonderland . the people he meet be increasingly wacky or unhinged and and the situation into which he stumble range from outlandish to nightmarish to life threaten . throughout and this film be a deliberately oddball affair . most of the time it be too disturb to pass for an all out comedy and but it remain compeeling thanks to it edgy script which never allow you to guess what be come next . the pace seem deceptively slow on the first screening and but on repeated viewing it become clear that not a moment nor line be waste and and that every little action link to something yet to occur or something that have already pass . after hour be an accomplished and memorable film . not to be miss .
