Short Eyes (1977)
Powerful and realistic prison drama
8 May 2023
I warn you, beware, this prison drama is not advised for the squeamish. It is brutal, disturbing, nasty. The tale of a young White man falsely accused of a child rape who is sent in jail, just in the middle of Puerto ricains and Black inmates, all aware of what this young man was accused of. With expected results...I repeat, this is a terrific, outstanding movie, and unfortunately unknown from the large audiences. It is a shame because it sounds realistic. I don't think it is inspired from actual events, but I am sure that such things already happened. A milestone in jail stories for me, but underrated for my taste.
