the director and ramin niami and deliver the good with somewhere in the city . this hilarious farce and i believe and be in the tradition of a mel brook comedy . niami poke fun at new york society by create the believable and eccentric and and tragic character of one tenement apartment build bring them to life from the very open one shot that introduce them . peter stormare performance a a gay shakespearean actor be absolutely award worthy and the film in general do a good job at show the hopelessness and laugh ability of self center ambition . sandra bernhard be cast perfectly a the straight and self obsessed therapist . i really enjoyed sandra performance immensely especially since i haven not really be a very big fan until now . bai ling and ornella muti and and bulle ogier round out an international ensemble par excellence . i love the scene with robert john burke and his gang of idiot criminal who couldn not plan a robbery if their life depend on it . with a cameo appearance by mayor ed koch and a solid performance by paul anthony stewart and the revolutionary momma boy and somewhere in the city entertain without miss a beat .
