Mark Kermode's Cult Film Corner: Bad Lieutenant

Mark Kermode joins Mark Radcliffe & Marc Riley to look at Abel Ferrara's 1992 crime drama.
From Mark Radcliffe's Radio 1, 10-midnight "Graveyard Shift" show of the mid-nineties.

That "Songs Of Praise" line straight after the clip was pure comedy gold.
So nostalgic for this show - 10 till midnight Mon - Thurs were great times in the early 90s.

Just absolutely howled at this very bit. Genuinely funny genius.

Not an easy watch. Confusing in places. But....a powerful, unsettling and brave movie.

I found that one still image of a vandalised church to be absolutely horrifying. Quite surprised me how much it affected me.

He's always well-dressed, even in the depths of his depravitivity. He's blessed.

I love this movie, in my top 5 for sure

I honestly feel that to understand this film you have to have a connection to Catholicism. Kermode is a Baptist so his understanding of redemption is not the same as Ferrara does.

[@NostalgiNorden]

That's a useless argument.
You should be able to understand a film whoever you are.
It's like when people said "The only reason you don't like Interstellar is becuse you are not a father".
It's like.....urgh....
