ABOUT THE FILM: “A quivering nexus of AIDS allegory, identity crisis, historical unease, and socio-economic panic.” — Slant Magazine Christopher Walken, Lili Taylor (THE CONJURING), and director Abel Ferrara (MS. 45) team up for THE ADDICTION — a stylized triumph of 1990s indie horror that mashes up Godard, Bram Stoker, and East Coast hip-hop. As the “Disneyfication” of New York City takes root, a morbid grad student (Taylor) is bitten by a vampire seductress (Annabella Sciorra) and must navigate the shadows while tempering her growing addiction to blood. In the midst of his most prolific, hard-hitting burst of filmmaking (basically that whole decade), Ferrara crafted this loving portrait of New York and a hellish portrait of heroin filtered through the darkest poetic lens. Filmed beautifully in black and white, THE ADDICTION sees Ferrara on his own terms and at his very best: raw, shocking, intelligent, and masterful. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: AGFA COUNTRY: USA
