American Buffalo [Blu-ray]

Description

"The language contains such rich humor just beneath the surface. It's not a comedy (although sometimes we laugh), but an elaborate playwright's joke." -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "With its staccato, profanity-laced language and metaphorically potent setting, American Buffalo folds a stylized parody of American gangster movies into a bleak Samuel Beckett vision that is wide enough to accommodate many interpretations...it adds another resonance to the heap of them already surrounding a work that only grows richer in meaning as the years pass." -Stephen Holden, The New York Times Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Franz, and Sean Nelson star in the film version of David Mamet's acclaimed play about a small-time heist revealing the all-American characters of its trio of losers. This stylized parody of classic gangster films reveals some profound truths about "free enterprise" even as it gives us a look at three resonant sad-sacks born into the "land of opportunity."
