Bringing Out The Dead
A few days in the cyclone existence of a New York paramedic (Nicholas Cage) who’s in the final stages of burn out due to lack of sleep, one too many severely injured people, and the memory of a young woman he couldn’t save. Frenzied camera work, editing, and perfectly chosen songs capture the feel perfectly. The hallucinogenic drug sequence Cage suffers through after taking a pill that was supposed to help him sleep is worth the rental alone. Based on a Joe Conway novel (FYI: Great Book, too). Adapted by Paul Schrader.
