The Grifters: 1990, 106min; R.T. score 92%; on Amazon & others $4
Angelica Huston, Annette Bening (her sexiest role), director Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons, The Queen, & many others), ahd the screenplay all received Oscar nominations for this dark comedy. Huston, a grifter, works for the mob manipulating the odds at racetracks. While in LA, she looks up her son, John Cusack, a grifter like her, but not as good. Bening plays his girlfriend, another grifter–maybe more like a grifter in training or wannabe. “The performances are all insidiously powerful,” said Roger Ebert, who ranked this film #4 in 1990.
