The Search for One-eye Jimmy

With assistance from a few surprisingly important actors -- Steve Buscemi, Samuel L. Jackson, John Turturro -- Sam Henry Kass made his directing debut with this indie. Film grad Les (Holt McCallany) returns to his old Brooklyn neighborhood to shoot a documentary and soon finds himself caught up in the titular search for Jimmy (Sam Rockwell), whose recent disappearance has become a local obsession. This self-consciously wacky little comedy was shot in 1993, it's actually something of a pioneer in the field. (Verleiher-Text)
