A Most Violent Year (2014)
Directed by J.C. Chandor
influenced by Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Visuals
For aficionados, Abel's massive town car and camel-hair topcoat instantly evoke such on-location 1970s crime pics as The Seven-Ups and Cotton Comes to Harlem.
It turns out that this isn't a heist film after all, but a mash-up between Cotton Comes to Harlem, the laid-back cop classic that launched the blaxploitation genre in 1970, and an unmade sequel to The Sound of Music, where Christopher Plummer's Captain Von Trapp returns to the motherland and goes into business with the Nazis.
