What critics compared The Funeral to
Better to rent Abel Ferrara's criminally underestimated The Funeral for a better treatment of the same themes in the same milieu, but if you do see Road to Perdition--and it's certainly worth watching for its performances and its visuals--see it on the biggest screen you can find.-Walter…
Gallo, an angular and unshaven man with a haunted look, has acted for offbeat and experimental directors such as Abel Ferrara (" The Funeral "), Bille August ("House of the Spirits"), Mika Kaurismaki ("L.A. Without a Map"), Emir Kusturica (" Arizona Dream "), Claire Denis ("Nenette and Boni"), Mira Nair (" The Perez Family ") and Kiefer Sutherland ("Truth or Consequences, N.M.").
Gallo was an actor in interesting films like Arizona Dream and Abel Ferrara's The Funeral.
Intense, pale, gaunt with haunting light blue eyes, Gallo has been a vivid presence in a number of films, including Abel Ferrera's "The Funeral," a period gangster picture in which he played Mafioso Christopher Walken's fiery, idealistic younger brother.
