About this product

Product Information

Director Luis Fernandez de la Reguera chronicles the storied but troubled life of indie actor-comedian Rockets Redglare (aka Michael Morra) in this biographical documentary produced by Steve Buscemi. Born in New York City to a 15-year-old heroin addict and a delinquent father with ties to the Italian mafia, Morra spiraled into his own drug addictions and criminal dealings after his mother's murder at the hands of her abusive junkie boyfriend. Transforming this tragic past into a comic persona he dubbed Rockets Redglare, Morra became a fixture in the 1980s East Village art scene, where his enormous girth and con-artist scams didn't prevent him from becoming popular with the ladies or respected among his fellow performers. In fact, Morra became a highly likeable cult figure, performing standup comedy with his friend Buscemi and playing bit parts in films by directors Jim Jarmusch, Alexandre Rockwell, and Julian Schnabel--even serving as drug dealer to punk rocker Sid Vicious and bodyguard to artist Jean-Michel Basquiat--before dying of alcholism-induced liver failure at the age of 52. De la Reguera pays loving tribute to this larger-than-life, yet sadly self-destructive, personality through archival footage; interviews with friends Buscemi, Jarmusch, Schnabel, Matt Dillon, and Willem Dafoe; and clips from Morra's long and varied film career, including nearly autobiographical cameo roles as a barfly in Buscemi's TREES LOUNGE and a tough guy poker-player in Jarmusch's STRANGER THAN PARADISE.
