Leave your thoughts about American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince.
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThere is a party atmosphere to the telling of these stories, as Mr. Prince holds forth in a smoke-filled room with a group of friends, Mr. Scorsese among them. But the film maker's conviviality takes on an element of regret. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairAmerican Boy is ultimately unable to overcome the biggest obstacle to its ongoing success - which is Prince himself... |
| Film Comment MagazineElliott Stein[Prince] seems to be one unexceptional rapaciously beady-eyed hanger-on. |
| User ReviewPaul Jever wonder what it'd be like to see Scorsese interviewing a dude in a jacuzzi? if so, this movie's for you. |
| User ReviewAdam MScorsese films ex-addict-adventurer Steven Prince telling stories to his friends; Prince gets laughs, and hides how he is shaken up and amazed he survived...for what? for whatever comes next is the best answer he has |
| User ReviewTimm SFascinating. Some people not only realise how great life is, but also have a fantastic way of relating it. |
| User ReviewMichael NReally cool early Scorsese work. There are two monologues in this film that were stolen and used for subsequent films by other directors: one is the drug overdose story taken by Quentin Tarantino for "Pulp Fiction". The other is the man with a knife story taken by Richard Linklater for "Waking Life". If you can get your hands on a copy, this is definitely worth a watch. |
| User ReviewPierluigi PSame as Italianamerican - very good, rare. This is a bit more intriguing though, and probably his strongest work with a short film. |
| User ReviewPaul ZMaybe Scorsese's least-known picture, an hour-long interview with Steven Prince, friend of Scorsese's, ex-road manager to Neil Diamond, ex-heroin addict. Most famously he appeared as the gun salesman in Taxi Driver. The movie provides a curious companion piece with Italianamerican; together they tell us a lot about Scorsese's world and influences. Scorsese gets moments of sadness and introspection from him, but mostly the stories he tells are enough. One of his stories is about a girl he had to restart after she ODed by stabbing a needle of adrenaline into her heart; the story was lifted in its entirety by Tarantino in Pulp Fiction (Prince also appears in Waking Life, telling another story he tells here). He's a fascinating figure, and I'm glad that another documentary about him, all these years later, is forthcoming. This is up on youtube (it's almost impossible to get - for a reasonable price - anywhere else). Every Scorsese fan should check it out. |
| User ReviewLucas MA nice, loose portrait from Scorsese of one of his friends (also featured briefly in "Taxi Driver"). There isn't the depth of affection and sweetness that makes "Italianamerica" one of Scorsese's best films, but this is very similar stylistically--just Prince talking and telling stories about himself for an hour. He's an interesting character, an engaging personality, and some of his stories are amazing. The result isn't exactly profound, but it's a very good film, and a must for Scorsese completists. |
