Willing and Abel

So it would appear that Abel Ferrara never passes up the chance to tell an assembled audience what HE want’s them to hear.

While we were dusting off our Sitges files in preparation for this year’s festival (October 2nd) we fondly recalled last year’s encounter with Ferrara where, during the Q&A following the screening of his film CHELSEA ON THE ROCKS, he was a little feisty regarding a number of issues currently taking the froth of his cinematic pint . Perhaps just a touch of the old Dutch Courage we thought at the time.

However, having read this piece over at SPOUTBLOG, I’m now thinking Abel is just a little weary of the world he now movies in and is therefore keen to grasp every opportunity to champion the good ‘ol days he’s loved and lost.
