A look at the gritty side of New York City life...
“Candy Apple” is the first feature-length narrative film from visual artist Dean Dempsey. After burning bridges out west, double-amputee punk rocker Terry Trash (Dempsey’s real-life father) moves back to New York to room with his adult son, Bobby (Dempsey), in a small apartment on the Lower East Side. Bobby is reluctant, but committed, to helping his ex-junkie father, all the while trying to stay focused on his own creative pursuits. A fledgling filmmaker, Bobby tries to cast Trash and the neighborhood characters that inspire him, but constantly fails to finish a project. Flat broke, he turns to sex work organized by his confidant, Lady (Sophia Lamar). Meanwhile, Trash has given up trying to find a job or reassembling his band, and, instead, has befriended local eccentric, Roxy (Neon Music). With the aid of hallucinogens, the two embark on regular adventures through New York, when Trash isn’t selling drugs.<br /><br />This dark comedy follows a father and son as they try to survive in the Big Apple, undermined by vice and addiction, even as they aspire to a better life. There’s a grittiness reminiscent of “Midnight Cowboy” in the film’s depiction of people on the margins of society struggling to live their lives against hardship and despair.<br /><br />Director Dempsey made the film on a minuscule budget ($100,000) with non-professional actors and allowed considerable improvisation on the set, though he claims what’s on the screen is about 95% of what’s in the script. The images are often disturbing and off-putting, but he manages to capture the ambience of time and place with its odd assortment of characters. The experience of watching “Candy Apple” is not unlike witnessing a train wreck; we are aghast at the disaster, but simply can’t look away.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the unrated DVD release.
