KINO FILES - ANGEL HEART (w/

[@damerochelle4014]

I'm a big time Anglel Heart fan. Director Sir Alan Parker once said of MIckey Rourke that he never knew what the actor might do on the set, so I bet that line about Wednesday being anything can happen day was totally improvised, and the director decided to leave it in. :)

[@Jared_Wignall]

This is an underrated film. Fantastic performances, particularly by Mickey Rourke. Thanks for the video man, take care!

[@HorrorCritical]

Angel Heart is a very underrated film imo. It should be talked about more

[@vrod2144]

One of my favorite movies ever. Cinematography, acting and music.. Perfection

[@ThePimpnerd88]

Early Mickey Rourke is an acting heavyweight. Everything that he ever wanted to accomplish in the ring was nothing compared to his stable of memorable performances. Too bad he tried to fix his face after too many hits. Fucked him up. Wrestler and Sin City, hell Ashby… were all pretty redeeming, though. Thanks for this review. Helluva fucking movie!

[@BrettOwen71]

I thought his scream was extremely believable

[@tommetcalfe2069]

That ending scene with Rourke breaking down is one of the greatest scenes Iv ever seen purely for Rourke, the cracking voice just adds so much. Absolute clinic.

[@gongal]

Yeah, it always felt to me like a sound a completely broken and powerless man would make. Wouldn't exactly expect warcries....

I pledge allegiance to the kino and The Kino Corner KZbin Channel And to Malick for which he stands One nation under Noé, Irreversible, with Libertines and justice for The Wall

OHOOOOOOO BABY

[@Dethmaster64]

This film is Literally Meat

[@mercurialhypersprite9556]

How tf this crossover?

[@jondstewart]

This is a thoroughly fascinating movie! Not just because of the plot twist, but the atmosphere and setting. Every single place in this movie looks dirty, spooky, and/or unpleasant and supposedly it’s a representation of life in 1955. Not quite, I’d hope! The slushy and muddy Brooklyn streets, the melting snow and grey sky driving upstate, the drug-addicted doctor’s cluttered house, rats on Coney Island, New Orleans, the swampland country, everything!

[@truthwinsuk8056]

Legendary movie. Legendary performance by rourke and caste. De Niro scariest devil you'll see.

[@beestingza]

It's weird that you found his scream at the end to be comical; I thought of it as a typical scream of a heavy smoker. Your vocal cords are fried by the smoke so you can't even scream right. That said I'm excited there are young people who are still enjoying this classic movie. It's a great one to watch around Halloween.

[@beestingza]

I've read Fallen Angel and the core of the story is still there, but the emotional impact and spookiness sure as hell isn't. It takes place entirely in NYC, and it's much more of a noir detective novel. Not the best. The movie is a masterpiece though and still one of my favorites.

[@dannyplaza5474]

Man when I first saw Angel Heart in the movies in ‘87, I was completely blown away and became obsessed with this movie. One of my favorites!

[@ARaccoonplays]

That scream was supposed to be like a child in terror, the absolute horror and denial of what happened and what he has done....also, Silent Hill 3 borrowed heavily from that elevator scene 😬

[@fido9745]

This is the 2nd 45 minute film review for this movie that I’ve found!! Very interesting!

[@chriswilson3126]

Indeed an underrated movie. It's easy to forget what a great actor was in general back in the 80s. I also love movies that generate an onimous kind of atmosphere and this has it in spades.

[@dionysoscub]

My favorite Alan Parker film. Great breakdown of this. BTW you're thinking Blues singer, Robert Johnson, not Muddy Waters r.e the deal w/ the devil scenario.

[@Tokolos]

Watched it many times, superb atmosphere and cast!

[@rarebit9384]

Pacino had devils advocate and de niro had angel heart. Just need a heat style mash up where they both play the devil in the south.

[@Morrigan71]

Have loved this film since it came out. It originally got an X rating, so Parker had to cut some of the sex scene to get an R here in the puritanical States. 🙄 On the fan motif: There was a fan in the hotel window the night Favorite stole Angel’s soul. Whenever he sees one, i took it to mean he’s remembering it (probably as Angel as that would have been a pretty traumatic night 😮). I also don’t think any of the people who knew Favorite recognize him as Angel since he had the reconstructive surgery. He was still wrapped in bandages when the Krusmarks dropped him off in Times Square.

[@boywonders]

One of my favorites. I had to rewatch last night after watching this! Would love to see you do an analysis of Polanski's The Tenant. Another favorite in the psychological horror realm

[@mariolopez-oi2td]

Regarding the fans they always made me think about how lucifer is called the lord of air, and it was almost like the devil is now stepping into the scene to take his revenge.

[@hydro3672]

never expected to see Papameat go on The Kino Corner

[@RobertMunro-wb6jb]

I’m glad this classic movie is getting a new ordinance ! Funny you watched it with your dad ! My mam was super cool and she watched this with me on British tv when I was 10 and see loves horror and also got me in to true crime books / serial killer books !

[@stevenguitink5947]

To answer the question about Lisa Bonet, to my knowledge she got fired from the Cosby Show because of that scene. Which in recent years obviously, really sticks out given what we know now.

[@dionysoscub]

Lisa Bonet wasn't fired because of this scene, especially because she came to Bill Cosby in advance to ask if she could accept the role (he said yes). In a very petty move some time later he fired her from the Cosby Show spinoff, A Different World, because she got pregnant after marrying Lenny Kravitz. She was later allowed to return to The Cosby Show the following season, but Bill deliberately made her time there a nightmare.

[@davesinclair1836]

Falling angel is one of the best books you will ever read

[@peterengelen2794]

1955 actually, which was also a great year of amazing Film-Noir movies.... Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@dannahbanana11235]

The ritual thing definitely felt very much like Bataille, I'd bet he was an influence.

[@jayxavier6930]

Love the Svankmajer shirt! Gotta get me one of those, lol...

[@friedux2065]

Great film, just watched the new UHD restoration.

[@glennkeppel9836]

You blokes have made me want to watch this again. I saw it when it first came out and missed so much of the nuance.

[@jupitershanty]

Get OUTTA HERE WITH THE PAPA MEAT! Thank you also for the recommendation on a film to watch later 💀👻🖤

[@mattendspiel9341]

I have to slightly disagree with you about Mickey Rourke’s scream at the end. It’s the scream of a man who realises he is broken beyond repair and eternally damned. Faced with this realisation, I imagine anyone would issue a wretched, child-like scream as their fate (for all eternity) becomes clear. It is primal, raw and utterly soul shredding.

[@wakingthewitch457]

Love the "Alice" T-shirt. Do you do an analysis of Svenkmeyer's "Faust"? That movie is a trip!

[@JayCee-tp2gv]

I got a thing about chickens

[@__-bz7wh]

Damn you deserve this crossover. Incredible

[@Holasoyhelena]

muy bueno!!

[@kalei91]

Very cool that you got Drachenlord for this video!

[@BillStreeter]

Oh man this was supposed to be a Lisa Bonet breakout film. She was a star on the rise at the time. It’s weird to hear you guys talk about her as if she were practically a background character on the Cosby show.

[@HorrorHermitofHell]

Well she got fired from the Cosby show because of this movie, kind of shitty knowing what we know now about Cosby

[@MrLoser-vn4lw]

Papa. He's got the meats.

[@jimmycrackkorn1596]

I was watching a Mexican TV series back in the early 2000s. (Archivos de mas alla) And I remember this one episode that completely ripped off Angel heart. Only the protagonist was a boxer and the devil was played by a woman.

[@johnnysherrard]

Because the idea from New York too New Orelans was getting nearer to hell from cold and getting hotter. The more he investigated the hotter it got

[@RobertMunro-wb6jb]

I think the blues musician was a reference to Robert Johnson aka the king of the delta blues ! There is a film called crossroads about him selling his soul to the devil and that is also who the musician in brother o where art tho !!!

[@jeremycunningham7897]

What a great movie! Glad it’s getting some love now. Lisa bonet had teenage me very distracted! She still has ancient me distracted … def wouldn’t want my mom to see this movie, like u say! But it’s sooo good. Noir atmosphere with the supernatural creeping in so subtly u don’t notice it till suddenly you’re in a horror film (kinda)! Anyway, thanks for this :)

[@hinterwelter]

Fantastic film!

[@alexandergraham6912]

Gentleman: it takes place in 1955. Not 1954. Know why? Because in terms of Parker's thematic and Faustian obsessions with the moral and spiritual emptiness and inciepient evils of fame, power, wealth, success, and the ugly underside of "The American Dream"(Fame, Evita, The Wall) he wanted to allude to that specific year as representing one of the most iconic Hollywood tragedies that relates to precisely that subject: the death of James Dean (9/30/55). Hence, casting Rourke, who in 1987 was called the "James Dean" of the '80's, and who Parker was quoted as saying "if Mickey had died right after filming, the frenzy of reaction would have been equal". What is most chilling and eerie about that remark is Rourke's career immediately went into decline after his extraordinary performance as a man haunted and destroyed by internal moral hypocrisy and denial for the sake of success. Was there more than mere fiction in the movies shattered mirror of self-realization? And to add on a little more spice in the gumbo, Parker orginally sent the script to Marlon Brando to play the devil, hoping to sharpen the Dean referentiality.

[@tylervman3734]

Quick question so johnny ate Harry's heart and looks like him after the fact , and is the real johnny dormant inside Harry's heart pulling strings? Or did johnny forget who he was bc Harry isn't evil and doest remember the connection between him and johnny. Hopefully you understand my question lol please reply I'm dying to understand

[@cookieface80]

I'm surprised how much much people apparently like this movie. It was decent, I guess. I prefer The Ninth Gate.

[@themarkiscookin]

Favorite didn't switch bodies with angel he ate his heart to steal his soul to mask his from satan then he got drafted and was injured and got shell-shocked and reconstructive surgery on his face and lost his memories and thought he actually was henry angel

[@brandonhamaguchi]

This exists as a podcast on Spotify/Apple/Google? I will listen to this running and stuff

[@scottwhittaker4959]

I heard it was Robert Johnson who sold his soul.

[@TheKinoCorner]

Maybe it was. I'm not really sure who it was but I knew it was somebody.

[@dominichowell6896]

Robert Johnson is the most well known but rumor has it that it was "a thing" in the Delta Blues lore. Pre-metal!🤘

[@BrettOwen71]

And Daniel Webster. Doctor Faustus as well.

[@peztopher7297]

I did watch this with my mom, about 30 years ago. I was about 30, she 50. Things like that don't bother her. She thought it was silly, actually. To me it was interesting, but I need to watch it again. Voodoo isn't devil worship. It's a kind of Christianity, actually, combined with West African pagan traditions. (Santéria is, too.) Traits of the pagan gods are identified with various saints.

[@cookieface80]

It's not of God, so it basically is Devil worship.

[@HorkPorkler]

Those skull shoes are cool

[@antonychigurh8939]

just got done watching it-called the ending within the first 10 minutes and that kinda sucked all the juice out of it for me, but I did really like Mickey Rourke’s performance. I’m just kinda surprised with how obvious they made the twist in the beginning: all this talk of contracts, shots lingering on DeNiro’s comically long pointed finger nails, and Cypher asking Angel if he’s sure they haven’t met before. Just seems like they wanted to give the big reveal away before the movie really got going-I will say that it induced a sense of anxiety in me once Epiphany said Johnny was her father because I knew Harry was gonna try and sleep with her and…well…yeah. I kept watching because I thought there’d be more too it, which means the movie’s doing something right I guess, but was kinda left a little meh at the end. The descriptions of the ritual were pretty gruesome and that was far-out; totally gave me the creeps. That’s about it. and holy shit, I didn’t realize DeNiro’s fingernails get longer every time he appears, but that’s fucking hilarious.

[@ichabodcrane2487]

Right, at the beginning it's clear that there is a relationship between Cyphre and Angel, but the viewer still doesn't know what it's actually about. One question follows the next. Who commits the murders, what contract exists with Cyphre and why, does Angel get away with it in the end or is he perhaps innocent (I know who I am) and there is another twist? The tension remains high until the uncompromising final scene and the best end credits in film history (elevator). Great film.

[@Mi11imani]

for me, "Wide Sargasso Sea" has the same vibe for some reason.... huh

[@mj1205]

Awesome movie

[@_scabs6669]

Cipher was Favorite

[@_scabs6669]

I'm literally in the middle of this movie rn ... .. . Finished it tonight so I'll leave some thoughts -Angel wasn't just "horny." He used his compliments and seduction of the women to get more answers out of them. Make them feel closer to him and trust him and let their guard down, like a good detective. -Also, I thought the only real piece of evidence to me that might have indicated that Angel really was favorite was the chickens. I don't know how you guys didn't pick up on this, but the way he keeps saying, "I have a thing about chickens," and it's never explained why, is a reference that in his past life as Favorite he witnessed the chicken murders and now he has a represses trauma connected to them. However, I still think it was Cipher who framed him. Cipher clearly did an intense amount of research into him to find the right guy, and it's possible he picked out a guy who had a fear of chickens because it would add to his own paranoia. If you can do a side by side and show that the tune he's playing on the piano is in fact the Johnny favourite tune, then that would be evidence. It certainly adds to the mystery, but I think it's a misdirection. Besides, even though he got the facial surgery, everybody would recognize his voice. They are singing his songs all the time, they were very familiar with Johnny Fav's voice. -Also, I don't mind the yellow eyes at the end. I thought they looked sick on De Niro, and they work perfectly in the dream idea of the film. De Niro wasn't really the devil, but at that point Angel believes he is, so we see what Angel sees.

[@dilansmithee503]

40:14 "Is Mickey Rourke's character in 'Angel Heart' secretly gay??? That's Just a Theory, A Game Theory. Thanks for reading....." P.S. 'The Pope of Greenwich Village' is a solid underrated 80s crime film. It also stars Eric Roberts, so it's on LowRes' list.

[@winstonwolf5706]

I let my nails grow to the length of Robert De Niro's in this movie. Not on purpose, but because I forget.

[@joshuagunderson6593]

Please review a movie by Aleksei Balabanov bro, please I’m begging you. His movies Brother 1&2 are the quintessential Russian literally me movies, although I’d say they honestly apply to most autistic mfs from lower-class backgrounds. Morphine is also amazing same with Dead Mans Bluff and Of Freaks and Men. He’s also relevant today as the Brother movies have become symbolic of Russian nationalism and anti-western sentiment. When the war started Brother 2 played in almost every theater.
