DirectorAbel Ferrarais one of the undisputed greats of American cinema. Yet, for whatever reason, he seems to be embraced by (and embraces) other cultures more than this one. Maybe it’s his iconoclastic behavior, the enfant terrible turned dangerous drug user turned streetwise sober Buddhist. Maybe it’s the raw violence and gritty humanity of his films, like an early Martin Scorsese who never got a bigger budget and wouldn’t to compromise if he did....
