Dangerous Game

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Abel Ferrara
1993 / 108min / 35mm

The most daring role of Madonna’s film career and the first movie produced by her production company Maverick, Ferrara’s underrated masterpiece was pulled after only one week at the Art Greenwich Twin, despite Janet Maslin’s compliment that “Madonna submits impressively to the emotions raging furiously around her.” Revealingly autobiographical for both Ferrara and Madonna, two public figures consistently caught in controversies of their own making, Dangerous Game features astonishing performances by Harvey Keitel and Ferrara’s real life wife Nancy. Norman Mailer on character Sarah Jennings: “For an actress, the role bore resemblance to going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.” Only Madonna would take such a risk.
