“Dark Streets”

A Fantasy Film

Amos Lassen

New Orleans in 1930’s is the setting of “Dark Streets”. Chaz Davenport (Gabriel Mann) has a big heart and he used it to help open up a new nightclub. The Tower. However things are not going to well. There are lots of bills and the dancers are fighting. To make it even worse, Chaz’s late father Arthur disinherited him and the company lawyer was killed in an automobile accident.
A cop, “the Lieutenant” (Elias Koteas), introduces Chaz to Madelaine. Because she can sing, the other dancers at the club become a tad upset and Chaz gets rid of his lead singer, Crystal (Bijou Philips). Things get even darker when Darlene, another of Chaz’s dancers is killed in an alley behind the club and the bathroom attendant’s throat is slit. Suddenly the atmosphere changes drastically.
Everyone in the film save Chaz has a hidden agenda. Chaz turns to his uncle for help and things get even weirder and that is all I can say about the plot.
The director, Rachel Samuels gives us a look at the world of the 30’s and her characters are both fascinating and diverse. This is an exceptionally dark film and it is photographed that way. There is a lot of atmosphere but not much going on. It is a film noir musical that offers a visual feast along with fine acting. There is a lot of music and the plot seems to fall into the backdrop as music comes forward. It is not so much a narrative but more of a musical exercise in the blues.
