This movie is not for the faint of heart, but if you can get past the graphic displays of heroine use, it’s worth it for the incredibly lively and endearing performance Pacino gives in his first leading role in a feature.
Directed by Jerry Schatzberg with a brilliant screenplay by Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, Pacino plays Bobby, a wheeler-dealer petty criminal living in New York’s “Needle Park”. When he meets a naive homeless woman named Helen and introduces her to heroine, they fall into a passionate but toxic relationship that quickly begins to revolve around their next fix.
