Fingers works for a handful of reasons - not the least of which is a phenomenal early performance by Harvey Keitel.

It blends together high and low culture, as Toback bet on this combo to win despite its long odds.

Probably one of the most naked psychodramas of its decade.

It's difficult to perceive where a large public might be located for an introspective movie this schematic and unappealing.

Lessons of Darkness
Description by OLDIES.com:
Jimmy Fingers (Harvey Keitel) lives in two worlds. In one, he's a supremely talented pianist with Carnegie Hall aspirations. In the other, he's a brutal collector who violently squeezes anyone who reneges on debts owed his mobbish, loan-shark father. Jimmy is a house divided. His dual life will come crashing in on him.
James Toback writes and directs, infusing this cult classic with vivid New York locations and volatile psychosexual dislocation.

Product Description:
Harvey Keitel is forced to work as a debt collector for his mobster father even though he dreams of becoming a concert pianist. When he is drawn to a prostitute, the tension between his two worlds becomes unbearable. A disturbing and memorable debut from director and screenwriter James Toback.
