Holiday Sin
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Abel Ferrara's dark, woozy Christmas movie never received a theatricalrelease in this country, despite enthusiastic acclaim in Europe. It's one ofFerrara's best films. Drea de Matteo and Lillo Brancato Jr. play a Latin American couple livingin New York and making ends meet by dealing heroin. While she is Christmas shoppingfor the latest, hottest toy for her daughter, her husband is kidnapped, and shemust frantically raise the ransom before it's too late.Thanks to Artisan for fulfilling a Christmas wish with this excellentwidescreen DVD release featuring a typically bizarre Ferrara commentarytrack.
