Angel Heart (1987)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092563/

Angel Heart is a 1987 movie written and directed by Alan Parker, starring Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro and Lisa Bonet. The film is adapted from the novel Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg, and is generally faithful to the novel with the exceptions being the introduction of a child of Epiphany Proudfoot conceived at a voodoo ceremony by \"the Gods\", and that the novel never leaves New York City, whereas the film opts for a New Orleans ending, and has a more somber tone.A highly atmospheric film, Angel Heart combines elements of film noir, hard-boiled detective stories and horror.

The movie opens in January, 1955. Mickey Rourke plays Harry Angel, a seedy private investigator in New York City. Louis Cyphre (De Niro) hires Angel to locate Johnny Favorite, a popular big band crooner who was severely injured in World War II and hospitalized with profound neurological trauma. Cyphre discovers that the hospital may have falsified Favorite\'s records and wants Angel to find out what happened, as Favorite owed a debt to Cyphre.But there\'s more to the case than initially appears, as the debt in question is Favorite\'s soul, and Cyphre is not human – his very name, Louis Cyphre, is a play on words, sounding like Lucifer when said out loud. His true objective is strongly hinted at by a scene in which Cyphre carefully shells and salts a hard-boiled egg before slowly biting down into it with obvious relish – after remarking that in many cultures it represents the soul.

Angel Heart gained attention and controversy even before its release. Bonet was previously known for her role on the family-oriented The Cosby Show, and her extended, graphic and blood-drenched love scene with Rourke required being trimmed of several seconds to secure the film an \'R\' rating on initial release.
