Neapolitan

A talky, offbeat crime story that drifts between teen mischief and a grim investigation, feeling uneven but curious.

Directed by

Todd Kennedy Mattson

Genres

Crime, Thriller

Starring

Curtis Longfellow, Nancy Pop, Bill Rogers

Overview

Teens out for a night of fun get more than they bargained for, after tasking a homeless man to purchase them some beer, leading to a fateful decision. Two detectives, one which is approaching retirement, investigate a hit and run crime. Told non-linearly with interweaving story lines, Neapolitan blends 80's teen movies, episodes of Dragnet '68, David Lynch, incorporating the dialogue heavy stylistic writings of Richard Linklater and Whit Stillman, with a bit of John Waters' style camp into a fresh look at the crime drama.
