Scarface (1983) -seteli * -dollari

Suomenkielinen nimi: Arpinaama

Brian De Palmas Timeless Masterpiece

Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exi-

led Cuban criminal who goes to work for

Miami drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana

rises to the top of Florida's crime chain,

appropriating Loggia's cokehead mist-

ress in the process. The screenplay for

the 1983 Scarface was written by Oliver

Stone himself.

Infinitely quotable and more than a little

cartoonish, Brian De Palma's update of

Howard Hawks' seminal gangster film

revels in its freedom to be larger than li-

fe. A work as akin to pop art as any other

form, it reworks the crime melodrama in

bold, primary colors, mostly blood red.

Attracting a great deal of attention for its

violence at the time of its release, the

controversy overshadowed the fact that

everything in the film ran to extremes, in-

cluding Pacino's performance, the direc-

tor's visual style (which found him almost

reverting to The Fury mode), the dialogue

and most importantly the themes. Scar-

face focuses on words like "crime" and

"America," then lets itself run wild with

the associations. That a classically Ame-

rican rise-and-fall story forms the heart

of the film is its simplest and best irony.

The experience will probably be thrilling

to some, particularly those already ent-

husiastic about De Palma's work, and

extremely off-putting to others Tony Mon-

tana may not be an appealing character

with which to spend nearly three hours,

but there's little chance of forgetting the

experience.
