While not about the killer David Berkowitz, or the hunt to catch him, this tells the tale of the city and its inhabitants; their fear, paranoia and vigilantism.

Such a great young cast. Brody, Sorvino and Leguizamo are so good. Really wish Mr. Lee could have created the movie he wanted.

Much like Do The Right Thing, Summer of San is a smothering film building to a boiling point. But it knows its communities less than DRRT, and it’s not as deft. From the punk scene to gays, Lee bites off a bit more than he can chew. In a surprising if delightful misstep, there’s a talking dog. Voiced by John Turturo. It’s far from a bad film, with a stellar cast and a scathing look at masculinity. But 25th Hour does that better too, leaving Summer of Sam as an odd middle child.
