Five Corners is a socially relevant film with a unique visual style
and a sense of humor. the cast is superb. Robbins, Foster and
Turturro give hints as to what they would go on to accomplish as
their careers grew. Todd Graff is also awesome but seems to be
having better luck as a screenwriter and producer. The two
females who play the glue sniffers are hilarious in roles that could
have easily be unsympathetic. The two mothers (Chalfant and
Gregorios) carry their weight in smaller but no less significant
roles. The two cops are straight out of the old crime dramas of the
1940's and 50's. There is also a good sense of 'place' in the film. I
got a genuine feel for the neighborhood where these characters
dwelt. I have also had the pleasure of being directed by Tony Bill in
a made for T.V. movie, A Chance of Snow. He's a professional. I
wish that he'd do more along the lines of Five Corners.
