Can you translate this from Dutch to English: Van het weinige dat ik tot nu toe van Ferrara's werk heb gezien  6 films, inclusief de recensie  is dit zonder meer de belangrijkste (ik vond zijn _BODY SNATCHERS_ uit 1993 goed, maar heb het altijd als een onnodige update beschouwd).Het is over het algemeen meeslepend en zit vol met typisch intense voorstellingen  Christopher Walken en Annabella Sciorra uit Ferrara's _THE ADDICTION_ (1995), Chris Penn, Vincent Gallo en Benicio Del Toro (hoewel sommige van de overdreven theatrale scènes, meestal over Penns slechtgehumeurde personage, af en toe onbedoeld gegrinnik oproepen). De plot, die een flashbackstructuur heeft die naar de incarnatie leidt, gaat over de regisseur.

From what little I've watched of Ferrara's work up till now - 6 films including the one under review - this emerges as easily the most substantial (I liked his BODY SNATCHERS [1993] but have always deemed it an unnecessary update).It's generally compelling and filled with typically intense performances - Christopher Walken and Annabella Sciorra from Ferrara's THE ADDICTION (1995), Chris Penn, Vincent Gallo and Benicio Del Toro (though some of the over-the-top histrionics, usually involving Penn's bad-tempered character, do raise the occasional unintended chuckle). The plot, adopting a flashback structure which leads up to the titular occasion, deals with the director's favorite themes - honor, faith, violence - and, as such draws parallels with the gangster films of Coppola, Scorsese and even Tarantino.On the strength of this, I rented two more Ferrara titles - FEAR CITY (1984) and KING OF NEW YORK (1990; again, with Walken) - to go along with BAD LIEUTENANT (1992; which I just recorded off late-night Italian TV, where it was presented in the original language); the latter two, in particular, are films that I've been meaning to check out for years (I just hope it'll be worth it).By the way, though I rented THE FUNERAL from my local DVD outlet as part of a 2-Disc Set with THE ADDICTION, I was actually the one to have brought it over to him from London!
