Starring: Robert De Niro, Uma Thurman, Bill Murray, David Caruso

Martin Scorsese sought John McNaughton to direct this Richard Price scripted film that stars Robert DeNiro playing against type as Wayne, a crime scene photographer who reluctantly accepts Glory (Uma Thurman), gifted to him as a show of gratitude after he saves the life of Frank (Bill Murray), a mob boss that nobody wants to let down. After Wayne and Glory fall in love, he has to contend with the rough side of Frank, who doesn’t want to let her go.

Another tough to categorize movie from McNaughton, Mad Dog and Glory strikes a balance between subtle humor and heartfelt character study, with richly textured performances from its leads.

Starring: Ashley Judd, Luke Perry, Bruce A. Young, Jim True-Frost

In the midst of a familiar suburban landscape full of big box stores and abandoned strip malls, Chris (Luke Perry) struggles as a cop, not willing to play along with dishonest colleagues. When he first encounters Pam (Ashley Judd), he is drawn to her chaotic energy, and the two quickly fall in love. But Pam bristles at any expectation that she be a dutiful wife, drawn as she is to the mysteries of far away galaxies and black holes, seeking the extraordinary. Only when she discovers Chris has started to rob banks to elevate their lifestyle does she emerge from the malaise, invigorated by the danger.

Based on a real life couple from the Chicago area, Normal Life puts the talents of its two stars on display. Director John McNaughton empathetically portrays how people struggling to stay afloat could opt for a life of crime.

Hired to cover up a high-profile crime, a fixer soon finds his night spiraling out of control when he’s forced to work with an unexpected counterpart.

Starring: Brad Davis, Franco Nero, Jeanne Moreau, Laurent Malet

Director Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final film is a deliriously stylized tale of hothouse lust and simmering violence. Set amid an expressionistic soundstage vision of a French sea port, this daring adaptation of a novel by Jean Genet recounts the tragedy of a handsome sailor (Brad Davis) as he is drawn into a vortex of sibling rivalry, murder, and explosive sexuality. Completed just before Fassbinder’s sudden death at age thirty-seven, Querelle finds the director pushing his embrace of artifice and taboo-shattering depiction of queer desire to new extremes.
