Video Notes:
THE LOCAL STIGMATIC (1990) An early entry in Al Pacino's ouevre, this short film follows two lower-class but intelligent men, Graham (Pacino) and Ray (Paul Guilfoyle, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION) on a day of dog races, drinking, and, eventually, violence. Based on a play by Heathcoate Williams, this intense film investigates the roles of fame and envy in the life of the common man. CHINESE COFFEE (2000) Based on a play by the same name, CHINESE COFFEE explores the friendship between a writer, Harry (Al Pacino), and a failed photographer, Jake (Jerry Orbach). Harry arrives at his longtime friend Jake's place late one night, hoping to collect on a debt, and to find out Jake's opinion of his latest novel. Jake is less than forthcoming, but over the course of the evening reveals the results of a lifetime of envy, regret, and destruction. LOOKING FOR RICHARD (1996) Part classical performance and part examination of Shakespearean dramaturgy, this acclaimed film features Pacino as both director and star of a production of RICHARD III. Scenes from the play are interspersed with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with such Shakespearean heavy hitters as Sir John Gielgud, Kenneth Branagh and Derek Jacobi. Other appearances include Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, and Vanessa Redgrave. BABBLEONIA (2005) is the closest thing to Al Pacino's memoirs," said Steve Feldstein, senior vice president of marketing communications. "It provides the viewer with an intimate look at his craft and his career." The film consists entirely of a conversation between Pacino and New York University film professor Richard Brown, and takes place at the Actors Studio in New York City, the celebrated workshop for young actors where Pacino and other famous stars got their start. Pacino freely speaks about his own career ups and downs, as well as the differences between stage and film acting, such as having to "project to the third balcony" rather than the camera.
