In "Summer of Sam" (1999),
serial killer Sam Berkowitz's 1977 murder spree
is de-emphasized in order to focus on an Italian-American neighborhood
in the Bronx filled with racists, perverts, criminals and sluts.

The film's anti-Italian images were so outrageous
that they prompted New York columnist Steve Dunleavy
to write: "(Summer of Sam) caricatures Italian Americans in a most disgusting fashion." |
