A must see; Pfeiffer surprises
with an excellent performance as a waitress in a down-at-heel coffee shop in NYC. Sounds unlikely, but she actually adapts to the role. Having seen “Dangerous Minds”, which was a good film, but somehow she didn’t fit that role. “Frankie and Johnny” is a great film to watch; I happened to watch it after a bad day, and it does take you out of your own problems.Pacino plays a man just released from prison, who lost his wife and child to another man, trying to remake his life; this was based on a play by the same name, “Frankie and Johnny in the Claire De Lune” and basically addresses loneliness and isolation, even in a city as overcrowded as NY.
I wish Pfeiffer had done more of these roles. She was so often used as a decoration, her acting ability was not allowed to standout (“Scarface”, “Witches of Eastwick”) etc. She was also very good in “White Oleander” an excellent film based on the novel by Janet Fitch.
Overall this film is particularly good if you are having problems in your life, and happen to watch this basic story of people, how they stay isolated, how they eventually find each other and a commonality in their life. It is also not an over the top romantic comedy, so it has credibility. 10/10.
Do you believe?
The first time I saw this movie, I fell in love. The second time around, I was already in love, watching it with my love who also fell in love and now we’re all in love. All because of this movie.Set in New York, the movie deals with loneliness, different ways of coping or letting go, it deals with love, the yearning for it and also the fear of it, this magical feeling you almost don’t dare hope for. The simple but genuine approach to these important themes makes the story stand out and makes you want to believe, because deep inside you already do.
You can tell the movie is based on a play, primarily because of the special atmosphere created by the careful progression of the story, scene by scene, not to mention the wonderful and individual characters we get acquainted with. Both Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino make outstanding performances and the on screen chemistry between the two is perfect.
This is an absolute must see for all you dreamers out there, and if you ever come across the play, you probably should check that out as well. Remember, the elephant must face the window and a VCR will never be a substitute for love. Sit down with this movie, and I promise you, from the first shot of the Greyhound accompanied by Terence Trent D’Arby’s wonderful title track, you’ll never want it to end.
