Titus & John Presnall discuss the most thoughtful gangster movie of our times, Carlito's Way. Brian de Palma manages to provide a kind of sequel & a kind of improvement over the much more famous Scarface. Like Scarface, this is also a running commentary on how America remembers the Bogart of Casablanca, but not the earlier gangster films. The movie is also a comparison with the famous Italian gangster movies of Coppola and especially Scorsese. It's New York setting, in the Seventies, revisits the glory & misery of lawlessness, but does so in order to bring out a version of the American dream.
