Stadt der Hoffnung (1991)

Stadt der Hoffnung: Directed by John Sayles. With Vincent Spano, Stephen Mendillo, Chris Cooper, Tony Lo Bianco. An intersecting tale with a multitude of characters living lives which, in one way or another, revolve around an old apartment block scheduled to be demolished.

“u0026quot;City of Hopeu0026quot;: Let writer/director John Sayles pull you into one huge, HUGE, swirling Swirling SWIRLING mmmMMesSsmEEEesSSSMsmeSss of corruption. A big city has all the typical problems. Everyone operates realistically – i.e., you scratch my back, maybe Iu0026#39;ll scratch yours. Right and wrong are lost concepts. Social and political survival tactics are practiced by the hunters and the hunted. No one is clean. Deals are made. Victims are collateral damage. It is a realistic story, with slightly enlarged dramatic characters. You wonu0026#39;t laugh. (P.S. – See John Sayles film u0026quot;The Secret of Roan Inishu0026quot;. It is nothing like u0026quot;City of Hopeu0026quot; but itu0026#39;s amazing and wonderful.)”
