THE ASTOR REVIEW

In derelict-infested Manhattan a down-and-out radio DJ meets a crazed vagabond obsessed with medieval history and in search of the Holy Grail. At first the whimsical mix of Arthurian myth and modern urban hell seems amazingly wrongheaded. In retrospect it still does. However, it weaves a spell that pulls you in, especially in its quiet moments. PN

IMDB SYNOPSIS

Jack seeks redemption by helping Perry in his quest to recover what he believes is The Holy Grail, from the private Library of a New York Socialite and to win the heart of Lydia, the girl Perry has fallen in love with.
