The action takes place in the New York City borough of the Bronx in 1964. John Turturro plays the psychopath Heinz, who was released from prison. He was sentenced after he tried to rape the neighbor Linda (played by Jodie Foster).
Heinz brings Linda two stolen from a zoo penguins as a gift, but he just will not hear from him. She asks her friend Harry (played by Tim Robbins ) for help, but do not get this. Heinz kidnapped Linda. At the end he drags Linda to his apartment, where he speaks with his own mother and dances and this throws in a sudden fit of madness out of the window.
Criticism
Filmdienst: ... psycho- drama that suffers from its inconsistent presentation and content overload. Full effect, but without depth are clichés and genre quotes strung together and garnished with macabre humor.
