The Cinema of Abel Ferrara: Nicky's Film
9 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Nicky's Film (1971) was the debut film from filmmaker Abel Ferrara. Written by a long time collaborator Nicholas St. John, Nicky's Film is about a paranoid man (Nicholas St. John) who's up into his eyeballs in some shady stuff, or is he? All day long, he watches from his window a mysterious man (Abel Ferrara) and the strange sleeping woman. What can Nicky do or why is he in this predicament? A strange debut for Abel Ferrara.

I saw this film on the two disc special edition of Driller Killer. The short movie was transfered onto video tape from Abel Ferrara's own collection. I guess the original is lost. Not a great piece of work, but a strange and weird paranoid film from a young filmmaker who has years of brilliant work in the future.
