UPC: 5-050582-002119 (DVD) Region Coding: Region 2 Production Year: 1984 Rating: T Running Time: 124 min. DVD Release: 8/27/2003 Case Type: Keep Case Video Formats: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Disc Formats: Single Sided, Single Layered SRP: €21.79 Al Cotton Club, il più rinomato locale notturno della Chicago anni ‘30, si incrociano vite e amori di un trombettista in aria di cinema, di una cantante che sogna un locale tutto suo, di un ballerino nero deciso a sfondare e dei boss della mala che fanno il bello e il cattivo tempo per tutti. Brillante omaggio al cinema gangster, di cui riprende gli stereotipi, Cotton Club appassiona per la vena romantica e diverte con inattesi sprazzi di ironia. Leggero e un po’ ingenuo, punta più sul ritmo e gli ottimi numeri musicali (strepitosi i tip tap di Gregory Hines) che non sulla statura dei personaggi, premiati dal destino in maniera proporzionale alla loro moralità. Indimenticabili, comunque, il fascino di Diane Lane e la simpatia del boss “gigione” Bob Hoskins.
