About this product

Product Information

Miguel Pińero was a New York City poet and playwright who wrote what he knew: a world of "stabbing, shooting and dying." This gritty, non-linear biographical film presents Pińero's dark charisma and even darker life in all it's angry glory. A junkie, a drug dealer, and a thief, Pińero (played by Benjamin Bratt) spent time in SIng-SIng prison, an experience which was the basis of his most famous play, SHORT EYES, which won the Tony award in 1974. Pińero also pioneered the spoken-word poetry (the forebearer to rap and hip-hop) of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, which he helped found. Mixing digital video in color with 16mm film in black and white, the film creates a convincingly harsh and lively portrait of life on the mean streets of Lower East Side Manhattan in the 1970s and '80s. There were a number of people in Pińero's life who recognized his genius and tried to save him from self-destruction: his mother (Rita Moreno), theater impresario Joseph Papp (Mandy Patinkin), and his longtime girlfriend (Talisa Soto). But the allure of crime and drugs won him over, and Pińero finally crashed and burned, dying young in 1988. This film is a passionate tribute to a passionate artist who remains an important Puerto Rican-American icon.

    Product was as advertised. However, one bulb was broken in transit. Box was packaged well, but shippers really manhandled it. Seller quickly made things right. Great overall experience.

    Talented but self-destructive life

    I may have seen this video before but enjoyed viewing it again. It would not be on my list of favorites, however...interesting from a historical point of view....i.e. this artist existed with all of his talent but self-destructive life.
