Actor Steve Buscemi’s first feature film as a writer-director made such a big impression on Sopranos creator David Chase that he says it should be considered one of the single biggest contemporary influences on the series outside of Martin Scorsese.Chase hired the film’s casting directors Georgianne Walken and Sheila Jaffe to cast his show, gave Buscemi four episodes to direct, and made him a regular in season five.
But the movie is a still-largely unsung masterpiece in its own right, following an alcoholic loser (Buscemi) as he stumbles through life, occasionally trying to pull himself together but always falling apart again.
Trees Lounge screens in 35mm as part of our Thirsty Thursdays series.
