BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS

"Nicolas Cage is as good as anyone since Klaus Kinski at portraying a man whose head is exploding. It's a hypnotic performance." – Roger Ebert

Werner Herzog and Nic Cage are like chocolate and peanut butter: absolutely made for each other. This maniacal corrupt cop saga is not an attempt to cash in on Ferrara’s ‘90s masterwork with the same name! Herzog instead does what he does best: have his camera worship one of the greatest physical actors of all time while they’re being pushed to the physical limit. In a post-Klaus Kinski era, Herzog chose Cage to be his new instrument of “ecstatic truth”, bulldozing through neo-noir tropes like there’s no tomorrow in this jaunty arthouse take on the Hollywood cop thriller. Co-starring the amazing lineup of Val Kilmer, Eva Mendes, Jennifer Coolidge, Brad Dourif, Xzibit, Fairuza Balk, Michael Shannon, Vondie Curtis-Hall and Shawn Hatosy!
