From the organizer: Bad Lieutenant (USA 1992)

Abel Ferrara could be labelled as the master of controversy and, more importantly, he does not seem to care about being typecast has the black sheep in cinema. Bad Lieutenant is the result of the counter-culture of the 70s films and their themes of sex, drugs and morality. An un-inhibited and powerful Harvey Keitel plays a fallen police detective in the Bronx (NYC) who has to investigate the rape of a nun. The story leads to Ferrara’s bleak, realistic and brutally honest exploration on God, sickened-society and excess. With films like Bad Lieutenant, The Addiction and the King of New York Ferrara remains THE filmmaker of the untold subcultures.
