Re-watched this gem of a film last night. 's moody cinematography of late '80s New York & 's stunning performance are the standouts of FULL MOON IN NEW YORK (1989) dir. by . A quiet, melancholy film about displacement, urban alienation & connecting through loneliness. Haunting performances by & too.

But the film is something else. And it stars the phenomenal . No spoilers, but the audacious ending blew me away. It leaves you with a sense of new beginning & infinite possibilities instead of mundane & manufactured closure.
