BAD LIEUTENANT:
PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS (2010)
PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS (2010)
SYNOPSIS
In Werner Herzog’s new film “The Bad Lieutenant: Port
Of Call New Orleans,” Nicolas Cage plays a rogue
detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at
scoring drugs -- while playing fast and loose with the
law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun
in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a
deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the
beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and
abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the
prostitute he loves (played by Eva Mendes). Together
they descend into their own world marked by desire,
compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular
masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically
humorous. --© Apparition
