Last Exit to Brooklyn
















51:49 -- Hubert Selby Jr.


"I will rise now, and go about the city
in the streets, and in their broad ways
I will seek him whom my soul loveth."
Song of Solomon 3:2,3


Directed by: Uli Edel
Written by: Hubert Selby Jr. (book), Desmond Nakano (screenplay)
"There is more of humanity in a prostitute trying to truly love, if only for a moment, than in all of the slow-motion romantic fantasies in the world." - Roger Ebert

  1. Have not watched a VHS in about 10 years but Last Exit was absolutely worth it! Very raw and so applicable to even today. I appreciate the idea of salvation, either through birth, death, departure, or maybe personal choice. Very good film
