“The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans,” 14 May 2010 (2009), DVD. Werner Herzog directed this remake–apparently completely different although I didn’t see the original—as super dark comedy as you can imagine about a pain-and-drug deranged police detective/lieutenant (Nicholas Cage in his usual over the top mode) in the Big Easy after Katrina ‘investigating’ the mass murder of a drug dealing peddler and his family by another drug lord, shaking down young white folks for their drugs, spending time with his call girl paramour (Eva Mendes, very good), and musing about life. Injured during Katrina, he’s become a total drugged-out reprobate, but this isn’t a Manichean study. He’s morally challenged but still there. It’s Herzog, of course. Jennifer Coolidge and Denzel Whittaker (Forest’s son) do wonderful jobs with character roles. We liked it but it won’t be for everyone’s taste. The disk contains a very interesting documentary about the making of the film, Herzog, and the actors.
