Summer of Sam, Spike Lees story of the summer of 1977 in New York City, when the heat rose and a serial killer terrorized the city, focuses on an Italian-American community in the Bronx; Dionna (Mira Sorvino) and Vinny (John Leguizamo), a couple whose marriage is threatened by Vinnys womanising. Vinny returns home one night to find a killer has murdered two local women, he promises, unsuccessfully, to mend his cheating ways.
As TV & newspapers exploit the murders and a blackout threatens to unleash anarchy on the city, its inhabitants begin to look for a scapegoat, who will release them from the reign of terror created by the Son of Sam (Michael Badalucco).
Summer of Sam is a great movie, a 1977 soundtrack, the rise of New York Punk, anarchy in the streets, a serial killer, and even a talking dog - what more does a movie need? Essential viewing!
