Wolfsmilch (1987)

Wolfsmilch: Directed by Hector Babenco. With Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Carroll Baker, Michael O’Keefe. An alcoholic drifter spends Halloween in his home town of Albany, New York after returning there for the first time in decades.

“Jack Nicholson usually relies on his quirky mannerisms and catch phrases; in this movie he shows his acting talents in a more serious manner. This movie is a brutal look at street people in the late 1930s. Meryl Streep immerses herself into her part as usual. This movie is harsh, cold and depressing. And the running time almost pushes two and a half hours long. I honestly donu0026#39;t know what they could have left out to make it shorter. Once is enough for this one. It will take a while for you to get your mind off of the abundance of hardship and sadness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNicholson and Streep are joined with a solid, diverse cast that includes Carroll Baker, Michael Ou0026#39;Keefe, Tom Waits, Nathan Lane and Fred Gwynne.”
