Five Corners DVD

Jodie Foster (Silence Of The Lambs), Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption), Todd Graff (Death To Smoochy) and John Turturro (The Big Lebowski) star in acclaimed screenwriter John Patrick Shanley’s (Doubt, Alive) quirky, offbeat and unsentimental comedy/ drama. With a perfect ensemble cast and an episodic nature that occasionally veers off into the surreal, Five Corners is a brilliantly observed, affecting, funny and wholly unique experience. Since its original release in 1987, Five Corners has gained cult status for its quotable dialogue, naturalistic approach and weird plot twists.
The year is 1964, the place is The Bronx, New York. A school teacher is shot in the back with an arrow whilst walking to work. A psychologically deranged misfit is released from prison, returning to his neighbourhood intent on revenge. A pair of dateless teenage boys are sold two unconscious women. Over the next forty-eight hours these tales and their characters will intertwine and cross paths as a neighbourhood is remembered and an era defined.
