Keeping to the gangster theme and to end Chauvel Tuesdays' crime season on a ‘high’, on September 4 we bring you the 30th Anniversary of a film that all wannabe gangsters compare themselves to, Scarface (1983). Director Brian De Palma and star Al Pacino take it to the limit in this stylized, ultra-violent and eminently quotable gangster epic that walks a thin white line between moral drama and celebratory excess.
Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exiled Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of Florida's crime chain, appropriating Loggia's cokehead mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the process.
