American Buffalo
Production Design
Donny Dubrow tiene un tienda de objetos de segunda mano que no va demasiado bien; pero, al menos, le sirve para reunir a los amigos y jugar al póker de vez en cuando. A Bobby, el chico de los recados, lo mantiene a su lado más por cariño paternal que por auténtica necesidad. Un buen dia, cuando Donny se da cuenta de que le ha vendido a un cliente, por un precio irrisorio, una moneda con la figura de un búfalo americano, decide no sólo recuperarla, sino también desplumar completamente al tipo. Su cómplice será Bobby, y el robo, casi un rito de iniciación para el muchacho. Pero todo dará un giro inesperado cuando entre en escena Teach amigo y compañero de timba de Donny.
