REVERSAL OF FORTUNE (1990)

Aristocratic Claus von Bulow (Jeremy Irons), convicted of trying to kill his alcohol and pills-abusing, wealthy socialite wife Sunny (Glenn Close), hires ace Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz (Ron Silver) to work his appeal. The contrast couldn't be more perfect: von Bulow, elegant, restrained, unflappable; and Dersh, Brooklyn street kid, hyper, intense, with a regular hippie commune of law students helping with the case. The two are absolutely brilliant. Irons won an Oscar, but the movie belongs to Silver, a versatile and vastly underrated actor. Really enjoyable.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
