Networks for Movement

Nestled deep within the brain is the basal ganglia, a cluster of neurons that controls various behaviours including how we move our limbs. Damage to these neurons and their networks can lead to conditions that affect our ability to make controlled movements, such as Parkinson’s disease. To better understand how information travels from the basal ganglia to the various brain regions involved in movement and behaviour, scientists created a precise map in mice of the networks originating from an area of the basal ganglia called the substantia nigra. They tracked electrical signals leaving from substantia nigra neurons as they travelled along pathways called axons (in green) to the rest of the brain by forming connections (in red) with other neurons. The detailed networks this map revealed could be used by other researchers to understand what type of information is carried along each connection and, ultimately, how animals move.

I WOULD LOVE A DAVE FIC !!!

Excellent. Here’s for you and @dudewhereismy-tardis

I am putting most of it under the cut because it is LONG

Dave (Daredevil copycat from Inimitable Verse) POV. Reminder that Dave is not his real name, but one given to him disdainfully by Wade in this verse.

Title: rises in the east

------------

“Dad.”

What?

“Dad.”

What time was it?

“Your phone’s ringing,” Charlie said. “It’s the boss.”

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

“Give it here,” Dave rasped, throwing an arm over his eyes.

“Mom said you’re gonna hurt your back sleepin’ on the couch,” Charlie reported as she shoved his phone into his palm.

“My couch, my rules,” Dave said. He crammed the phone to his ear. “Ansel here,” he said.

Charlie wanted to stay home and if she was a year older, Dave would have let her. But alas. The last time he’d let her stay home, she’d texted her friend Jesse who had become unspeakably jealous and had appealed to her own parents for such freedoms, and now the whole block thought that Dave recklessly abandoned his daughter when he went to the goddamn grocery store.

All that for a can of Sprite, man.

This neighborhood was off the fuckin’ charts sometimes.

Case in point: Dani standing in front of him in the lobby with her hands on her hips, telling him that he needed to wear a tighter t-shirt or to start flexing because they were losing business.

“Dani, I’m an instructor,” he reminded her. “I’m hired to do classes.”

“It’s two hours,” Dani said. “Take the damn fliers.”

But he didn’t want to?

Dani blinked at him slowly from under her headband.

Charlie was having a great time and Dave was glad for that because he was not. He was being stared at by every person in the street as if they’d never seen a dude with muscles before.

It was the shirt.

He knew it was the shirt.

And possibly his nipples. Smashing the brochures high enough against his chest to cover them wasn’t going well and the highlighter teal underarmor Dani had forced upon him left very little to the imagination here.

There wasn’t anything else to do but let the poor things live their best lives.

“Dad, gimme more,” Charlie said.

She tugged at the brochures covering what was left of his dignity.

Blessed child, who hurt you?

“Where did the others go?” he asked her.

Charlie pointed across the road to a gaggle of ladies leaning out from their stoop, smiling.

Ah.

Yes.

Them.

“Let’s try for someone who looks more like a bro,” he told his offspring.

Charlie blinked up at him.

“Why?” she asked.

Oh, baby.

“Because they’re an easy mark,” he said. “Go up and say ‘my dad can take you’ and send ‘em my way, okay?”

Charlie’s face went from confused to ready to kill instantly.

This was her game face. This was her ‘I’m gonna wreck this goalee’s teeth’ face.

Dave shouldn’t have been proud of her, really; her teachers said that she was becoming argumentative and obstinate in the classroom. But there was just something there in the fact that his kid sure as shit wasn’t no sheep that made his chest feel big, wide, and full of hot air.

“I’m on it,” Charlie said.

He gave her three brochures and let her scramble off to the other side of the sidewalk and then turned to meet the eye of a family with a father with neat hair and the beginnings of triceps peeking out from under his sleeves.

“You lookin’ for a gym, sir?” he asked.

The guy looked his way and eyed him up.

He took a flier on his way past.

“Excuse me?”

“One second, man,” Dave said, doing the rock-shuffle to keep all the fliers on the table from blowing away.

“Excuse me.”

“Hey, I said just a sec,” Dave snapped.

He turned back and found himself staring into the dark eyes of a bald man with olive skin and deep wrinkles in his forehead.

And Dave knew him.

Holy shit.

Dave knew him.

Fuck.

God.

Jesus, Lord.

“I am so sorry,” he started.

“DAD.”

Ch—Charlie?

He looked down and sure enough, holding Rudolph ‘Diamond’ De Luca’s massive bearpaw was his very own daughter. De Luca made her wiry, suntanned limbs seem like unbaked pretzels.

He was so much bigger than he’d seemed on TV all those years ago.

“This your kid?” De Luca asked.

Jesus.

“She is. I’m so sorry,” Dave said, “Did she—she didn’t bite you or anything, did she?”

“Dad,” Charlie whined. “Don’t tell ‘im that.”

“I’ll pay for whatever damage—” Dave continued.

De Luca blinked at him impossibly slowly with long dark eye lashes. He turned his face slowly back down towards Charlie.

“You sure this is your old man?” he asked.

Wh—

Wait.

What the hell did that mean?

“That’s him,” Charlie moaned. “He’s just bein’ dumb. Dad. Stop bein’ dumb. This dude’s the real deal. He’ll fight you in a heartbeat.”

Dave grabbed his child before she could cause any more damage. She made a fuss, but let go of De Luca’s mitt. Dave shoved her behind him, just in case this situation got any more tense than it needed to be.

De Luca lifted an eyebrow at that and then brought his face back up to Dave’s.

“Who’s gym?” he asked.

What?

Oh.

“Spitfire,” Dave said. “We’re, uh, just about there, on the—”

“I know where you’re about,” De Luca said.

Dave didn’t know what to say. De Luca held his eye.

Oh, god.

This wasn’t going well.

“How old are you, son?” De Luca asked.

FFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffuck.

“38,” Dave said.

“And your baby girl?” De Luca asked, gesturing with his chin down at Charlie.

“I’m 12,” Charlie told him brightly.

“Hm,” De Luca said.

He shifted his weight back and wrapped a few fingers around his chin, surveying Dave’s whole body like he was the statue of David with a knee injury.

Dave became intimately aware of his nipples again.

“Not bad,” De Luca said.

Oh, thank god.

“Thank you, sir,” Dave said. “Is there, uh, somethin’ I could help you with?”

“You got an accent,” De Luca noted.

Uh?

“A good accent,” De Luca said. “Whereabouts did you grow up?”

Oh.

Well.

Dave could actually just point to it from here. The condo was still standing, despite all building codes and actual alien invasions. At this point, the only thing that was gonna take it down were the rampant, rapidly mutating, borderline feral gangs of chickens that roamed its halls.

Not that anyone spoke about them.

No, that was inviting trouble to your doorstep.

“The chicken coop?” De Luca said.

The one and only.

“Bless you, you poor fuck.”

Yeah, that tended to be the usual reaction.

De Luca laughed.

“You’re a funny guy, uh,” he squinted at Dave’s nametag, “Ansel?”

How could a word sound so wrong in someone’s mouth?

Where had Dave’s life gone wrong that his own name sounded so foreign and distant to his ears?

“Actually,” he said, swallowing, “My uh, my friends call me ‘Dave.’”

De Luca’s head snapped right up and slowly, a grin spread across his face.

“Oh, now, that’s a good name for ya,” he said. “You look like a Davy.”

Hng.

Diamond De Luca thought he looked like a ‘Davy.’

Welp.

Time to get that birth certificate changed.

“Listen, Davy,” De Luca said casually, “Your baby girl there was tellin’ me that your boss has you out here like dancin’ monkey; is that true?”

Fffffffffff.

Technically yes?

“It’s even his day off,” Charlie whispered.

Dave wrapped a hand over her face.

“It’s fine,” he said. “It happens. Folks’ve been sick lately. I don’t normally do this kinda thing.”

De Luca’s face said that that was real cute. Real, real cute, honey.

“Well,” he said, “Let’s just say it like this. Where you work don’t gotta be where you train.”

Oh.

Was he offering--?

“If you decide to drop by, tell the guy at the desk Rudy sent you,” De Luca said. “Your kid’s real sweet, Davy. She can come too, lord knows the damn place is a daycare at this point.”

“Thank? You?” Dave stuttered.

“Don’t mention it,” De Luca said.

He left. Dave watched him waltz down the block and wave at the gals collected on the stoop at the end of it and felt a little lightheaded.

“Dad?”

Not right now, champ.

“Dad? Is he famous or somethin’?”

HHHHHHHHHHNG.

Back when Dave had been 14 and scraping the tips of his fingers into callouses on the old guitar he’d found tossed into a dumpster in the Upper West Side, he’d had to compete with the sound of the couple fighting in the apartment next door and with the radio the old man downstairs always had playing on his fire-escape window.

The old man downstairs was a real hard-ass. Always slammed a broom into the ceiling, scaring the shit out of Mom and Dad and sister and auntie. Dave had never seen him not smoking, nor had he ever seen him without suspenders.

The man was a retired plumber, apparently. And while Jim Beam was his main vice, his passion was boxing.

To the tune of chords picked out of an out-of-tune guitar, Dave had listened to tinny commentators oohing and awing over match after match, until finally, when sleep wouldn’t come one night, Dave had snuck out of the room he’d shared with Flora. He’d settled down on the living room couch, next to his old man splayed out in the recliner.

Dad had lifted his eyes slowly his way and told him that he should have been in bed.

Dave had told him that he couldn’t sleep because the couple next door was makin’ up from their daily afternoon argument and Dad had just sighed.

He’d let Dave stay up with him and the TV in the living room had fuzzed and rattled away, making sounds really familiar to Dave at that point.

Boxing was a sport that he had, up until that night, left to his father. But for the lack of anything else to talk about that wouldn’t make his dad look at him with disappointment in his eyes for all that damn music-playin’ and eyeliner, he’d asked who the guy on the screen was.

And that was how he’d learned about Diamond De Luca.

About Kenny Varga. Bert ‘The Albatross’ Kleinfeld.

But there was one guy who Dad had mentioned was his favorite rookie and, now it felt both kind of silly and surreal that the name had been spoken so casually in Dave’s home growing up.

Dad had been puttin’ money on Battlin’ Jack Murdock back when Dave had been a little kid.

He told Dave, disappointedly, after a few weeks of Dave getting up at 12:30 to come out and watch boxing with him that he’d really thought that Murdock was gonna be the next big thing.

Guy was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Dad had said, shaking his head. But wolves that got too wily got put down and Battlin’ Jack had been found in an alley, bled out in the arms of his reason for fighting.

Dad said it was a fuckin’ shame that Murdock had gone out with a slug in his head.

A fuckin’ shame, he said.

Dave didn’t remember him every saying that Murdock’s reason for fighting was a blind ten-year-old, but the thought was now merged with that memory.

That, in itself, was merged with the memory of Dave’s phone ringing one night was Addie’s name on the Caller ID. Her voice was shaking when she told Dave that the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen had just called her from an unknown number.

He had their baby.

He’d snatched her and Jesse out of the arms of two men looking for girls to be used in businesses Dave didn’t want to think about.

He’d saved them.

The devil had heard their screams when no one else had and he’d come flying out of the dark.

He’d held the girls in the light of a bodega and he’d coached Charlie through typing Addie’s number into his phone and then he’d taken it from there.

Addie was too scared to go meet the devil on her own. Mason hadn’t been around yet and so Dave had thrown on his shoes and had meet her on 46th.

The devil was on 48th, swinging his boots with both girls in his lap.

They were all singing. The devil had pretended like he didn’t know the words to Britney Spears’s ‘Toxic.’

Matt Murdock was under that mask.

Knowing that this whole time, he’d been the one dragging a stick against the fences and bricks of Hell’s Kitchen was almost impossible to digest.

And Dave had worked with him now.

He’d seen that smirk and that notorious jaw unwrapped from its red armor and that didn’t make reconciling the murdered boxer’s son with the man who’d saved his daughter any easier.

Charlie hadn’t remembered him.

She thought that Matt Murdock was a weird fuckin’ dude, and granted, he was a weird fuckin’ dude, but Dave had to say: he was grateful.

Matt Murdock not only brought home his baby, but he’d given Dave purpose in a life that had become consumed by the daily grind.

Matt Murdock had smiled in his direction, never quite into his eyes, and he’d passed along the baton with next to no fight.

Dave wasn’t him.

Dave would never be him.

Matt Murdock wasn’t just some poor murdered boxer’s blind son. He was the product of some serious poverty. Some serious violence. A whole fuckin’ cult induction, if he was to be believed. And Dave wasn’t so sure if he was always to be believed.

But he still appreciated Matt Murdock for what he’d done and what he’d made for this part of the city.

He’d made Daredevil.

And he shared that with Dave.

Dave’s own dad’s approval hadn’t felt like the honor that had come with Matt Murdock’s covered eyes and curled lip slowly relaxing as he’d lifted his face up from Dave’s knees.

He hadn’t been inspecting.

He’d been listening. Dipping his fingers into the blood in Dave’s heart and deciding if he was worth his salt.

Matt Murdock, son of Battlin’ Jack Murdock, was a product of Fogwell’s Gym in the Kitchen.

Diamond De Luca, retired heavyweight, was a product of Fogwell’s Gym.

The stars had aligned. And Dave had stood in their path.

And he wasn’t wasting the chance that they offered him.

Charlie was stoked to be allowed to come to the gym with him. She usually went to Jesse’s house, where Rubes would look after both girls for a few hours.

But De Luca had said that it was okay for her to come along, and so he figured, why not?

Fogwell’s was an institution in the Kitchen. All kids deserved to know their own history.

“I’m gonna fight Fogwell himself,” Charlie announced halfway down the block.

“You will not,” Dave told her. “Because I’m not tryin’ to get thrown out before we even get started here, alright?”

Charlie whined.

He ignored it.

This wasn’t the first time he’d been to the gym. Matt Murdock slipped in and out of it when he was in the city and he’d taken the whole team there once or twice. But it was different to be there in the presence of the daytime crew.

Dave felt very small in their presence.

The whole place was full of people pounding bags and swearing and shouting at kids who were tumbling all over the rows of benches set off to the side of the bags.

It was not what Dave had been expecting.

He told the guy at the front that ‘Rudy’ had recommended that he stop by and got a nod and a wave.

“He’s probably upstairs,” the receptionist said. “Go pick a bag, I’ll give him a buzz.”

Charlie refused to join the kids on the benches because apparently that was ‘only for babies, Dad.’ She wanted to hold the bag.

She was not, in one thousand years, holding the bag.

Dave wrapped her hands and let her go at it first to ‘soften it up’ for him.

De Luca caught him adjusting the demon-child’s thumbs before they ended up at the hospital again and laughed.

“Davy-boy, you made it,” he said.

Dave snapped up straight to attention.

“I did,” he said.

De Luca laughed again.

“Relax, kid,” he said. “Damn, you’re tight wound. Don’t worry, we won’t tell no one you’re sleepin’ with the enemy.”

Ahahahaha.

Please don’t.

These people were jacked. Dave was but a kickboxing instructor.

“Here, bub, lemme see what your pops has got,” De Luca said, shooing Charlie out of the way.

And this was the moment of truth.

De Luca seemed surprised when Dave finally laid off the bag. And Dave couldn’t read his expression for a million bucks.

“Uh?” he tried. “Not good?”

De Luca blinked himself back to earth.

“Oh, no,” he said. “It’s just uh, you fight a little like someone I know.”

Please don’t say a mobster.

“Kid used to live around here; name’s Matt Murdock,” De Luca said. “You know him?”

Did—

Did he know him?

QUICK. Answer the question.

You’re takin’ too long.

He’s gonna—

“S’alright if you don’t,” De Luca said. “I was just sayin’. Kid was like one of my own.”

He—

What?

“Yeah, boy fought like the devil like his daddy before ‘im,” De Luca said. “He’s the only one Fogwell lets call him ‘Grandpa.’ He’s about your age, actually. God, I’m old.”

AHAHAHAHAHA.

Please change the subject.

“You’re not that old,” Dave said. “I think I might have heard the name.”

Charlie looked up at him, baffled at the hedging.

He pleaded with her with his eyes not to say a damn word.

“Yeah, he’s somethin’, left here for San Francisco. Didn’t even say good-bye, the little shit,” De Luca sniffed. “Came back last year all ‘I’m gettin’ married’ and I swear to god, he’s picked up some kid. Just between you and me, pal, the old guard here have been talkin’, and we think that someone missed out on the sex ed talk, if you know what I’m sayin’.”

Oh.

Poor Sam.

He wasn’t even there to scream from the mountaintops that Red was a last resort for him at best.

“I’m just sayin’,” De Luca said with a shrug that spoke far more of supreme irritation than nonchalance, “He coulda just told us. I’m just sayin’.”

Any more ‘just sayin’s’ and Diamond De Luca was gonna go find a wall to bury them in.

“Did you, uh, have any feedback?” Dave blurted out as the guy started mumbling.

“Hm?”

“Feedback,” Dave repeated, waving a gloved hand at the bag.

“Oh. Yeah, loads, kid. You got all the muscles and not a damn lick of memory, here, lemme show you.”

Crisis averted.

Thank god.

Dave laid his phone on his chest and stared back up at the ceiling.

It was never dull, this new life he’d settled into.

He said a prayer for Murdock and rolled onto his side.

It was still his goddamn couch.

“Oh darling the cut of that dress just looks divine on your figure.”

Jaskier watched as the bride scrutinized herself in the mirror. “I don't know about the lace,” she frowned, turning from side to side. She turned over her shoulder to look at her entourage. “What do you guys think?”

“I think it makes you look frumpy,” the maid of honor (Kelsi? Kristy? They all blended together after a while) pouted. “It’s not very wow.”

“Yeah I definitely don’t think that it has that wow factor that you were looking for,” one of the bridesmaids chimed in.

Jaskier fought the urge to roll his eyes. Lace was in no way frumpy. Gorgeous, classy, understated? Yes. Frumpy? No. But that was something that the high class clients of Kleinfeld’s couldn’t seem to wrap their head around. After five years of consulting he still couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that all they seemed to associate lace with was their grandmother’s wardrobe. Their grandma wished she had a dress like that.

Movie Review | Carlito's Way (De Palma, 1993)

This review contains spoilers for this film and Scarface.

If Martin Scorsese's The Irishman offers a corrective of sorts to audience misreadings of Goodfellas and Casino, Brian De Palma's Carlito's Way serves a similar function in relation to Scarface. The earlier film, with its decadent surfaces and fever pitch, was embraced or derided (depending on who you talk to) for endorsing the very excesses it was meant to indict. I happen to love that movie and think that it would be pretty useless satirically if it didn't go all the way in that respect. But here comes De Palma, reuniting with an older, wiser Al Pacino, clearing the air and assuring us that no, crime actually does not pay (a lesson which should have been clear to anyone who paid attention to the other movie's ending.) Pacino plays Carlito Brigante, a former drug dealer with a formidable reputation who vows to go straight after being released from prison five years into a thirty-year sentence. You see, he's got a plan to go to the Bahamas and manage a car rental business for a friend he met in prison. Problem is, nobody around him can believe it.

Had Scarface ended a little differently, you could argue this would have been Tony Montana a few years down the line. Tony burned too brightly and flamed out before he became capable of reflecting on his ways. Carlito is haunted by the spectre of past violence, suggesting that he was at one time was capable of similar savagery, and the movie offers John Leguizamo's upstart gangster ("Benny Blanco from the Bronx") as an avatar of his worst qualities. Yet when Tony managed to look himself in the mirror, he found that he was a lowlife to the core with nary any principles to speak of. Carlito in contrast seems a bit more grounded and human, which makes his inevitable downfall all the more tragic. Here's a man who can see all the mistakes he's making, and makes them anyway. Carlito's Way is a portrait of men trapped by a culture of machismo, forced into bad decisions and cycles of violence because they can't comprehend any other way. (A scene where Carlito spares Benny after being disrespected in his club leaves his henchmen baffled.)

Carlito stands by his lawyer friend David Kleinfeld, played by Sean Penn, even when Kleinfeld's visibly coke-addled decision making and penchant for treachery actively undoes him, and the movie highlights how a seemingly noble trait can become downright stupid under these circumstances. I've found Penn's reliance on tics distracting elsewhere, but saddled with makeup this unflattering, he's forced to actually get into character and provides the movie with one of its most memorable lowlifes. (Interestingly, at one point Marlon Brando was considered for the Penn role, which would have been, uh, interesting, considering Brando's career and stature at this time. Viewers of a certain generation will also recognize the character as the inspiration for the hero's sleazy, incompetent lawyer in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.) The other central relationship is between Carlito and Gail, his dancer girlfriend played by Penelope Ann Miller. Like the Michelle Pfeiffer character in Scarface, she's white, conspicuously WASP-coded, and the movie is astute about how she represents a certain respectability to the ethnic hero. It's also aware of how loyalties and conflicts will form almost arbitrarily along racial lines, and the exceptions of Carlito's relationships with Kleinfeld and Gail and his past dealings with Italian gangsters stand out as a result.

The production design here isn't much less meticulous than in Scarface, but the flashy period fashions and glamorous coke-fueled parties aren't quite as intoxicating here, as Carlito no longer feels their allure. (He's also seen frequently in dark colours, looking austere, almost monk-like, in contrast to the colourful suits worn by his cohorts.) Perhaps due to the period setting, the appeal of these things lacks the present tense urgency of the symbols of wealth in Scarface, and with Carlito's relative wisdom they rarely feel divorced from the realities of the street, whereas the earlier film got more and more insular as its protagonist ascended the criminal ladder. Where De Palma does dial up the flash is with the set pieces, with his fluid camera moves, dancerly sense of movement, acute spatial awareness and hair-trigger timing evident in a pool hall ambush, an ill-advised prison escape scheme and the climactic pursuit through a train station. The sequence is less bloody but just as suspenseful as I'd remembered from my initial viewing years ago (funny how your memory fills in the gaps). Compared to Scarface's gun battle climax, this scene feels like the other half of De Palma's take on a John Woo shootout. Scarface brings the body count and firepower, Carlito's Way has the balletic motion. (John Woo's classics, released between the two films, are similarly concerned with the gangster lifestyle but exist in different, if no less compelling, emotional landscapes.)

Now, with all the Scarface talk, it's worth pondering which is the better film, and I think it really comes down to personal preference. This is a slower, more contemplative film, closer to superficial notions of quality and respectability. Yet, perhaps by design, it can't match the brute force impact and lightning-in-a-bottle quality of the other film. But really, these are movies in completely different registers and it's nice that they're as good as they are in their own way.

40 ANECDOTES SUR « L'IMPASSE », LE PLUS ROMANTIQUE DES FILMS DE GANGSTERS

Le 23 mars 1994, ce classique encore et toujours sous-estimé débarquait dans les salles françaises...

1. Intitulé Carlito’s Way en version originale, L’Impasse aurait dû en réalité s’appeler After Hours.

Carlito’s Way et After Hours sont à la base deux livres écrits par Edwin Torres en 1975 et 1979. Carlito’s Way décrit l’ascension du jeune Carlito Brignate dans le monde du crime, tandis qu’After Hours s’attache à dépeindre sa chute après sa sortie de prison.

Le film est donc beaucoup plus proche d’After Hours que de Carlito’s Way. Problème : Martin Scorsese avait déjà réalisé en 1985 un film intitulé After Hours.

2. Quand L’Impasse est sorti eu cinéma, Edwin Torres officiait comme juge à la Cour suprême de l’État de New-York.

Avocat de profession, il a écrit Carlito’s Way et After Hours en parallèle de son activité, avant d’être nommé à cette prestigieuse fonction en 1980.

Aujourd’hui âgé de 92 ans, Torres a pris sa retraite en 2008.

3. Les scènes de procès de L’Impasse ont été filmées dans le tribunal où Torres a parfois plaidé.

4. L’Impasse marque la cinquième collaboration entre le producteur Martin Bregman et Al Pacino.

Après avoir découvert Pacino sur les planches de Broadway au début des années 70, puis l’avoir aidé à obtenir son premier rôle d’envergure dans Panique à Needle Park, Bregman l’a engagé pour jouer dans Serpico (1973), Un après-midi de chien (1975), Scarface (1983) et Mélodie pour un meurtre (1989).

Martin Bregman est décédé en 2018.

5. Accepter L’Impasse a failli coûter six millions de dollars à Al Pacino.

Quatre ans avant la sortie du film, il s'était en effet engagé dans un projet d’adaptation concurrent du roman d’Edwin Torres piloté par le producteur Elliott Kastner. Il était prévu qu’il donne la réplique à Marlon Brando qui aurait interprété le rôle de l’avocat David Kleinfeld.

Frustré que le tournage soit sans cesse reporté, Pacino avait cependant accepté de s’engager en parallèle avec Bregman. Pas franchement ravi de la nouvelle, Kastner l’a poursuivi en justice à hauteur de six millions de dollars pour rupture de contrat.

Heureusement pour l’acteur, la plainte n’a pas été jugée recevable.

6. Al Pacino a entendu parler du personnage de Carlito Brigante avant même que le livre ne sorte.

Pacino a en effet rencontré par hasard Edwin Torres en 1973 dans une salle de sport. Une chose en amenant une autre, ce dernier lui avait pitché son roman avant qu’il ne le termine.

7. Carlito Brigante s’inspire de trois gangsters qui ont vraiment existé.

Secret professionnel oblige, Edwin Torres n’a néanmoins jamais divulgué leurs noms.

Ont-ils été ses clients ? Les a-t-il faits condamner ? Près d’un demi-siècle après les faits, personne n’en sait toujours rien.

8. Al Pacino voulait au départ que Carlito arbore une queue de cheval.

Il a toutefois changé d’avis après s’être rendu dans East Harlem pour observer les looks des Portoricains.

9. Brigante n’est pas un nom d’origine portoricaine, mais corse.

Edwin Torres s’est ici inspiré d’une séquence historique méconnue : lorsqu’en 1915, l’Espagne, craignant de voir ses dernières colonies caribéennes accéder à l’indépendance faute de soutien des populations locales, a encouragé l'immigration de catholiques européens non espagnols sur ces terres.

Ainsi, de nombreux Corses ont quitté l’île de Beauté pour aller tenter leur chance de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique.

10. Le film s’amuse qu’Al Pacino ne soit absolument pas d’origine portoricaine, mais italienne.

Dans une scène où Carlito se retrouve nez à nez avec d’anciennes connaissances mafieuses venues lui rendre visite, l’une d’entre elles lui lance devant sa bande : « La première fois que je l'ai vu, j'ai cru qu'il était italien. Non mais tu l'as vu ? Regarde cette tête ! »

11. Al Pacino n’a pas spécialement apprécié de devoir porter le célèbre manteau trois quart en cuir noir de son personnage.

Tournée en premier, la scène finale dans la gare a tellement pris de retard que les scènes dans lesquelles Carlito revient dans son ancien quartier n’ont pas été filmées au printemps comme prévu, mais en plein été.

« Al suait à grosses gouttes » se rappelle De Palma. « Il suait tellement, qu’un jour il en a eu marre, et qu'il est rentré chez lui en train. »

12. Brian De Palma a beaucoup hésité avant d’accepter L’Impasse.

Dix ans après Scarface, le réalisateur craignait de se répéter en se lançant dans « un nouveau film de gangsters parlant l’espagnol ».

13. Brian De Palma n’était pas le premier choix pour diriger L’Impasse.

Abel Ferrara, qui auparavant avait réalisé King of New York et Bad Lieutenant, avait été considéré.

14. De nombreux acteurs de Scarface ont repris du service dans L’Impasse.

On peut apercevoir dans des rôles secondaires Al Israel (Hector, le Colombien qui découpe Angel à la tronçonneuse), Ángel Salazar qui jouait Chi-Chi (le pote de Tony en charge de récupérer la « yeyo »), Michael P. Moran (« Nick le porc »), ou encore Caesar Cordova (le propriétaire de la gargote dans laquelle Tony et Many bossent au début du film).

15. El Paraíso, le nightclub que dirige Carlito, reprend le nom de la gargote dans laquelle Tony et Many bossent au début de Scarface.

16. Les rappeurs adorent les dialogues de L’Impasse.

Sans tous les citer, on compte évidemment Jay-Z qui, pour l’intro de Brooklyn’s Finest, son duo avec Notorious BIG, s’est réapproprié la scène où Carlito se retrouve à court de munitions après un deal qui a mal tourné (« Okay, I'm reloaded !!! »), ou qui, pour son classique Street is Watching, a paraphrasée l’une de ses quotes les plus célèbres du film (« La rue, elle t'a à l'œil. Elle te surveille sans arrêt. »).

Impossible également de ne pas mentionner Soul Controller de Ghostface Killah, l’antépénultième piste de son classique Iron Man, qui sample in extenso le monologue de fin (« Sorry boys... »).

17. Sean Penn a accepté L’Impasse avant tout pour des raisons financières.

Devenu peu de temps auparavant père, auteur d’un scénario qu’aucun studio ne voulait financer (celui de Crossing Guard, l’histoire d’un père de famille qui souhaite venger la mort de sa fille renversée par un chauffard), Penn était avant tout besoin de cash.

« J’avais besoin d’oseille. Brian m’en offrait un bon paquet. Le rôle était pas mal, et en plus c’était avec Al. »

18. David Kleinfeld s’inspire notamment d’Albert Krieger, l’avocat du célèbre parrain John Gotti.

Considéré comme le dernier grand Don de la mafia new-yorkaise, Gotti s’était fait une spécialité de mettre juges et procureurs en échec au cours de procès particulièrement médiatisés.

19. Charlie Sheen et John Turturro ont un temps été considérés pour interpréter David Kleinfeld.

20. Dans le livre, Kleinfeld survit.

C’est l’une des différences majeures avec le film. Brian De Palma et le scénariste David Koepp ont opéré ce changement car ils trouvaient la fin du film déjà assez sombre comme cela.

21. L’hôpital dans lequel Carlito rend visite à Kleinfeld est le même que celui dans lequel Michael Corleone rendait visite à son père dans Le Parrain en 1972.

Pour être exact, ce ne sont pas les mêmes intérieurs, mais il s’agit bel et bien du même bâtiment.

22. Al Pacino et Penelope Ann Miller sont devenus amants lors du tournage.

Engagée à la demande expresse de Pacino pour interpréter la très blonde Gail, Miller, 24 ans de moins que lui, garde plutôt un bon souvenir de cette relation : « Al est quelqu’un de très passionné. Il a su éveiller une certaine féminité chez moi. »

Seul hic, « Al » était au même moment en couple depuis deux ans avec la réalisatrice Lyndall Hobbs.

23. Penelope Ann Miller n’était pas le premier choix de Brian De Palma.

Le réalisateur lui préférait l’Irlandaise Alison Doody (vue dans Indiana Jones et la dernière croisade). Cette dernière a toutefois refusé son offre car elle ne souhaitait pas danser seins nus.

24. Gail danse sur une chanson qui n’était pas sortie à l’époque du film.

L’Impasse se déroule en 1975. Hors, le personnage est vu danser dans un club de strip-tease sur Got To Be Real de Cheryl Lynn sorti en 1978.

25. John Leguizamo a refusé à quatre reprises d’interpréter Benny Blanco.

Rôle très secondaire à la base, Leguizamo a insisté auprès de Brian De Palma pour qu'il soit étoffé.

« Je ne le trouvais pas assez consistant. Heureusement, Brian et moi avions précédemment travaillé ensemble sur Outrages en 1989, et il m’a laissé improviser à fond. »

26. L’une des petites amies de Benny Blanco est jouée par la véritable petite amie de John Leguizamo.

En couple au moment du tournage, Yelba Osorio et Leguizamo se sont mariés en 1994, un an après la sortie du film, avant de divorcer en 1996.

L’acteur a ensuite convolé une seconde fois en 2003 avec Justine Maurer... qui travaillait comme costumière sur L’Impasse. Ensemble, ils ont eu deux enfants, Allegra Sky (née en 1999) et Ryder Lee (né en 2000).

27. Sean Penn et Brian De Palma ne se sont absolument pas entendus sur le tournage.

Penn n’était guère fan du « lyrisme » de De Palma derrière la caméra (« C’est dur de comprendre ce qu’il veut, ça virait sempiternellement à la confrontation. »), tandis que De Palma était exaspéré de devoir filmer jusqu’à trente fois la même scène pour que Penn se satisfasse du résultat.

28. Exécré par les conditions de tournage, Sean Penn n’a jamais regardé L’Impasse.

29. John Leguizamo et Penelope Ann Miller ont eux aussi maille à partir.

Dans ses mémoires publiées ne 2006, Pimps, Hos, Playa Hatas and All the Rest of My Hollywood Friends, Leguizamo écrit « qu’il suffit de la connaitre pour ne pas l’aimer ».

Il a ensuite révélé lors de la campagne de promotion qu’elle était tellement odieuse que les costumières raccourcissaient chaque jour ses vêtements d’un centimètre pour lui faire croire qu’elle prenait du poids – « ce qui la rendait dingue ».

John Leguizamo est quelques années plus tard revenu sur ses déclarations en affirmant « avoir manqué de discernement » et en assurant « n’avoir jamais avoir eu le moindre problème avec elle ».

30. L’intégralité du film a été tournée à New-York, à l’exception d’une scène bien précise.

Pour plus de réalisme, la scène où Gail danse sur la plage a été tournée à Miami, là où Carlito tente de s’échapper à la fin du film.

31. L’auteur de la musique du film, Patrick Doyle a également composé la bande originale d’un autre film de gangsters devenu culte, Donnie Brasco.

32. Jorge Porcel, l’acteur qui joue Saso, le propriétaire du club, récite son texte en phonétique.

Humoriste argentin, il ne parle pas un mot d’anglais et a dû apprendre ses répliques sans comprendre leur sens – Martin Bregman l’a engagé après avoir vu l’un de ses sketch à la télévision espagnole.

33. Le studio a insisté pour raccourcir la scène du billard.

En vieux renard, Brian De Palma accepté sans rechigner de remonter la scène avec l’aide de son éditeur Bill Pankow. Et lorsqu’il a présenté la nouvelle version, les exécutifs l’ont trouvée très bien comme ça... alors même qu’elle avait été rallongée en douce de quelques minutes supplémentaires !

34. Il était prévu que la fusillade finale se déroule au World Trade Center.

L’attaque terroriste du 26 février 1993 perpétré par un groupuscule islamiste a cependant rebattu les cartes.

Près de 680 kilos d’explosifs avaient été placés dans une voiture piégée garée au sous-terrain du bâtiment. L’objectif était de faire basculer la tour nord sur la tour sud. Si l’opération a été sur ce point un échec, 6 personnes ont toutefois trouvé la mort et 1 042 autres ont été blessées.

35. Outre L’Impasse, de très nombreux films ont été tournés à la gare de Grand Central Terminal de New-York.

Armageddon, Men In Black I & II, le Superman de 1978, Je suis une légende, French Connection... la liste est sans fin.

36. L’Impasse a laissé la critique de marbre en 1993.

Aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraître, le film n’a pas convaincu. Passant notamment pour une redite de Scarface et des Intouchables, le scénario était jugé « sans surprise », « digne d’un épisode de Miami Vice ».

Al Pacino a également peiner à convaincre en raison de son accent portoricain jugé trop caricatural.

37. L’Impassse doit en grande partie son regain de popularité chez les cinéphiles aux Cahiers du cinéma.

En 2000, la revue française de référence l’a en effet sacré parmi les trois meilleurs films des années 90 avec Sur la route de Madison de Clint Eastwood et Goodbye South, Goodbye du taïwanais Hou Hsiao-hsien

Dans son ouvrage Les Mille Yeux de Brian De Palma, Luc Lagier, journaliste aux Cahiers du cinéma, estime que « L’Impasse est non seulement l’un des plus beaux rôles d’Al Pacino, mais c’est un film qui a transformé le statut de Brian De Palma, qui, avec Mission Impossible et Snake Eyes, a composé une sorte de trilogie de la paranoïa, imposant sa vision toute puissante aux studios ».

38. Peu de temps après la sortie de L’Impasse, sont apparus dans les rues de New-York des sachets d’héroïne estampillés Benny Blanco.

39. Il existe un prequel de L’Impasse.

Intitulé Carlito’s Way: Rise to Power, il est sorti en 2005.

Adaptation de Carlito’s Way d’Edwin Torres (cf. point numéro 1), écrit et dirigé par Michael Bregman (le fils du producteur Martin Bregman), il mettait en scène le jeune premier Jay Hernandez dans le rôle du Christ aux côtés d’un casting aux petits oignons (Puff Daddy, Burt ‘Paulie-de-Rocky’ Young, Luiz Guzman qui revenait dans un rôle différent, Mario Van Peebles, Giancarlo 'Gus-de-Breaking-Bad' Esposito...).

Malgré toutes ses qualités sur le papier, il s’agissait d’un direct-to-dvd dont ni la critique, ni le public n’a gardé un souvenir impérissable – pour le dire gentiment.

40. L’Impasse ne dure en réalité sur quelques secondes.

Tout le film tient entre ce moment où les roues du brancard sur lequel repose Carlito Brigante se bloquent et celui où elles se débloquent, le temps pour le personnage de se rappeler les évènements qui l’ont conduit à sa perte.

Wir lieben besonders wadenlange Kleider wegen ihrer streckenden Wirkung und lehnen uns an Vintage-Hochzeitskleider an.
