Fingers (1978)

.
Jimmy "Fingers" Angelelli (Harvey Keitel) is a man divided. A brilliant classic pianist following in the footsteps of his fragile mother (Marian Seldes), Fingers also works for his father (Michael V. Gazzo), a NYC Mafia loan shark.

Sexually rapacious, Fingers is drawn to both women and men, however a medical condition makes sex painful. Driven by the pressures from his parents and his own suffering, Fingers heads toward insanity.

Others in the cast include Danny Aiello, Tisa Farrow, Jim Brown, Ed Marinaro, and Tanya Roberts.

Written and directed by James Toback.

Run time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Rated R.

My personal rating: C+
