"A cheap small-time hood working his way up the bottom rungs of the Mafia ladder."@en
""The future is set for Tony and Michael - owning a neighbour- hood bar and making deals in the mean streets of New York city's Little Italy. For Charlie, the future is less clearly defined. A small-time hood, he works for his uncle, making collections and reclaiming bad debts. He's probably too nice to succeed. In love with a woman his uncle disapproves of (because of her epilepsy) and a friend of her cousin, Johnny Boy, a near psychotic whose trouble-making threatens them all - he can't reconcile opposing values. A failed attempt to escape (to Brooklyn) moves them all a step closer to a bitter, almost preordained future." IMDB."

"I peccati non si scontano in chiesa, si scontano per le strade. Il resto è tutta una balla: è la voce di Charlie, un ragazzo di Little Italy che si sente in conflitto con la meschinità dell'ambiente in cui vive, anche se poi passa la giornata con gli amici perditempo, tra risse e piccole zuffe. Lo zio vorrebbe dargli un posto di responsabilità, e lo mette in guardia contro le cattive compagnie: la cugina Teresa, epilettica, di cui è amante, e lo scapestrato Johnny Boy. Alla fine Johnny Boy la fa troppo grossa e Charlie non può fare più niente per lui. (Mereghetti)."@it

"Scorsese drew on his own childhood and adolescence (Harvey Keitel is his alter ego) in depicting the macho world of small time crime in New York's Little Italy. He achieves a certain psychological distance from the obsessions of growing up Catholic in a society structured by contradictions and rituals. The loose, jagged structure contains an extraordinary blend of the operatic (the film has been described as a kind of rock opera) and the naturalistic (there was a good deal of improvisation by the actors). The effect of the lighting in bars and streets takes the film to the edge of expressionism; the hand held, rapidly tracking camera amplifies the sense of emotional and physical violence. Much of the film was actually shot in Los Angeles."@en
