Been Running Into Abel Ferrara Since The Early ’80s

And especially since the first interation of Hollywood Elsewhere began way back in ’98, but I’d been slacking off, Ferrara-wise, over the last three or four years.

Then the Rome-residing Ferrara surfaced as an angry, snappy mafioso in Marty Supreme. And then Alex Vadukul’s N.Y. Times profile appeared yesterday (1.7). And then I took notice of last year’s Turn in the Wound, which is now streaming on the Criterion Channel. And then I bought Ferrara’s memoir, Scene, which popped a couple of months ago.
