John Turturro and Giancarlo Esposito—together again! These two singular character actors first met on Do The Right Thing, back in '89, where they famously did not get on. “I hated him, to be honest with you, and he probably hated me to a certain extent,” Esposito has said of their first run-in, “but I loved him all in the same emotional feeling because I recognized him."
Game recognizes game, indeed, and the two went on to work together on two more Spike Lee joints (Jungle Fever and Mo' Better Blues). Now, they've paired up once more for Noah Segan's stylish, graceful crime flick THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK, where their mutual respect—begrudging or not—pays off in the wonderful scenes they share together.
Curious? Of course you are! Catch one of our advance screenings of PICKPOCKET, tonight, tomorrow or next Tuesday. Don't wait too long: tickets are going fast...
