What The Panic in Needle Park Is About
A relationship inside a group using heroin around a New York park changes when she becomes dependent too. Both of them try to stop. The film does not build addiction as a narrative of decline; it shows the daily routine and generates no excitement. There is no music and the scenes were shot on the street in real locations. Jerry Schatzberg directed. It is Al Pacino's first leading role. The screenplay is by Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne. A real warning: needle use is shown in close-up and it is distressing. The death of a baby is also part of the narrative.
