"Among Ferrara's crazy films, this is one of the most refined and beautiful." TELERAMA
Frank White is released from prison and the settling of scores is increasing. Installed in a suite at the Plaza, he is determined to become the king of New York again. But while the police have sworn to put him out of harm's way, White dreams of being a businessman. Getting closer to municipal elected officials and charities, he conceives the project to open a children's hospital, financed by money from drug trafficking...
With The King of New York , Abel Ferrara ( Bad Lieutenant ) produces a masterful urban thriller, a sort of funereal cross between opera and gangsta culture. Cops and thugs clash around a Christopher Walken possessed and supported by a luxury cast bringing together David Caruso, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes or Steve Buscemi. As cult as Scarface , The King of New York is a fantasy portrait of the criminal underworld and one of Ferrara's most accomplished works. Available in its new restoration in 4K Ultra HD™ and Blu-ray™!
