Robert De Niro and Francis Capra in A Bronx Tale (199)

BRIEF INTRODUCTION Starting as a father-son story, very naturally the film develops into an interesting tale with values, ethics, and morals on one side and evil elements on the other.
“A Bronx Tale” is based on the 1989 play of the same name by Chazz Palminteri. De Niro, after watching the play, decided to make a film about it. He collaborated with Palminteri and directed the film himself, which also marked his directorial debut.

The Theme One of the most beautifully crafted Hollywood films of all time. Bringing out a thoughtful theme like “A Bronx Tale” and executing it beyond perfection is a rare combination of vision and artistic instinct resulting in a perfect mise-en-scene with some of the finest artists supporting its back. From an understandable narrative to a clear motive of the theme, the movie excels in every frame. I feel very proud writing about this film, it was a pleasure watching this film.

Performances Robert De Niro If I go on to make a list of actors who never disappoint in portraying any role, it would start with Mr. Robert De Niro. This one artist never fails to impress, he just gets under the sleeves of the character so well that you are completely convinced with what he is portraying. His performance as a protective father in the film is perhaps one of his most sensitive and warm performances. He carries the simplicity of Lorenzo’s character in his smile and expressions and he peaks in one of the confronting scenes with Sonny’s character.
Chazz Palminteri I got introduced to Chazz Palminteri through this classic, and I have to say, I became his huge fan after witnessing his performance as Sonny in the film. It felt as if he was born to play a tough guy. Not just the speech but even the tiny details and mannerisms Chazz was impressively convincing as the boss of the neighborhood in the film.

P.S. The only film to feature Robert De Niro and Chazz Palminteri together for the first and only time.
