Cruising

Wird ins Deutsche übersetzt…

There’s a killer on the loose in New York City, and he’s targeting gay men in the West Village. Fortunately for the NYPD, he’s got a type – slim, dark-haired, handsome – and officer Steve Burns (Al Pacino) fits the bill. To crack the case, Steve must journey into the city’s nocturnal underworld of S&M and leather bars, hoping to catch the killer’s eye – but will he lose himself along the way? Controversial with both straight and gay audiences upon its initial release, Friedkin’s film still retains its power to shock and unsettle 45 years later. Directed by William Friedkin Starring Al Pacino, Karen Allen, Paul Sorvino 1980 · 102 min · cert 18 Screenings at Prince Charles Cinema on Tuesday 20 October: 18:15 (35mm) – sold out.
