Pesci's First Starring Role,
29 March 2002
SPOILERS AHEAD. This was Joe Pesci's first starring role
after making a name for himself in Raging Bull (1980). As a
result of his popularity in the early 1990s, this one
popped up on video under the title RUBY'S DREAM. It's a
pretty depressing drama about a Jewish family living in a
crowded apartment in Jersey City, NJ (although supposedly
all of this was filmed in Germany!), consisting of Pesci,
his sister, and her son--all desperately trying to survive.
The kid results to petty larceny and fencing jewelry for
cash, while Pesci is a pathetic mustachioed singer in the
lounge of a bowling alley. Eventually, he crosses the mob
(in the form of Frank Vincent, who was also in Raging Bull,
Goodfellas, and The Death Collector, all with Pesci) who
sets the bowling alley on fire. Ultimately, he realizes
that his dreams are not to be, and he resigns himself to
being content in the ghetto. The film is very, very low
budget, and has that poorly lit look to it characteristic
of so many films of the late 70s/very early 80s.
Ultimately, I found it too grim to watch more than once.
The kid who plays his nephew, Evan Handler, was one of the
cadets in TAPS with Tom Cruise and Sean Penn. |
