Closing Time

Closing Time shows the very few remaining days of an old store in New York Cities Little Italy. It is a very nostalgic, sentimental portrait, a love song to the history of the immigrants.
As a viewer, it's not all that hard to get the feeling of this little shop, with it's 'clutter' (to the Italians it is preferred to as gold) and visitors that are spellbound of what they encounter.

It is a cosy documentary on passing era's, on Italian traditions and most of all a nice portrait on a small village within New York. In any case, it's not your particular gangster film.
