Burgess Meredith

“All my life, to this day, the memory of my childhood remains grim and incoherent. If I close my eyes and think back, I see little except violence and fear…In those early years I somehow came to understand I would have to draw from within myself whatever emotional resources I needed to go wherever I was headed. As a result, for years I became a boy who lived almost totally within himself.”

    STATE OF GRACE

    PHIL JOANOU United States, 1990

    A New York mobster movie released (unluckily!) in the shadow of Goodfellas, Phil Joanou’s star-studded, Ennio Morricone–scored gangster epic is an unacknowledged pinnacle of the genre. Gary Oldman’s virtuosic, live-wire turn has been cited by none other than Leonardo DiCaprio as a major influence.
