Description

In Alan Parkers ANGEL HEART, based on the novel FALLING

ANGEL by William Hjortsberg, a New York City gumshoe is hired

to find an aging blues singer. Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) follows

clues from the ominous ghettos of Harlem to the witchy backwoods

of Louisiana, where he takes up with Epiphany Proudfoot (Lisa

Bonet), the beautiful young daughter of a voodoo priestess, whom

he believes will be able to shed light on the growing mystery

surrounding the missing musician. As Angel closes in on the

truth of the case, his contacts start turning up dead. He begins

to suspect he might be next. Parker (MISSISSIPPI BURNING)

threads a commentary on the limitations of modern Western

society into his sensual, suspenseful thriller. As the story unfolds,

Angel relies less and less on his failing, overwhelmed rational

mind (and handgun) and more on Epiphanys ancient mojo.

Rourke captures the unraveling protagonist perfectly, and Bonet

adds an erotic and mysterious edge with her performance. Robert

De Niro is both funny and malevolent as Angels mysterious client,

Louis Cyphre. Shimmering with a beguiling mist of the macabre,

ANGEL HEART provides an unexpectedly haunting dose of

gothic noir.
