Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
New York 1955. Angel is an unemployed detective who accepts a job from the strange Mr. Cyphre: find a disfigured former singer who vanished ten years ago without paying a debt. From the streets of Harlem to voodoo ceremonies in New Orleans, Angel’s investigation quickly descends into a nightmare.
This pungent fever-dream of Southern Gothic neo-noir is soaked with atmosphere and nerve-shredding, voodoo-inflected chills. Vividly recreating 1950s New Orleans, and featuring a devilish supporting turn from Robert De Niro, Angel Heart’s mysteries will keep you guessing right to the end.
