Film is forever.
Lund died in Paris in May 1999 due to heart failure. Set in New York City during the waning days of a playoff series between the Mets and the Dodgers, the movie follows the never-named Lieutenant of the title, played with ballsy glee by Harvey Keitel. Keitel, whose career is experiencing somewhat of a rebirth these days, is a cop that has gone beyond dirty, straight into the realm of filthy. Filled with religious imagery and visual commentary, it helps to bring the saddlebag of guilt that is a Catholic upbringing to the theater. Those of you expecting a mystery or any insight into the police work involved in pursuing the perpetrators will be sorely disappointed.
