Synopsis
A PhD candidate in philosophy explores being and nothingness as a vampire and craven junkie for that most precious sanguine fluid – blood. From writer Nicholas St. John (KING OF NEW YORK, DRILLER KILLER) comes a deliriously heady blend of Descartes and Catholic despair set to the colorful hip-hop conceits of Cypress Hill’s “I Wanna Get High”. An utterly original nocturnal trek through the metaphysical starring: Lily Taylor, Christopher Walken, Annabella Sciorra and a third of the eventual Sopranos cast. THE ADDICTION is a bite in the night – Abel Ferrara’s New York –shot in stark black and white.
