The Panic in Needle Park

(1971)Directed by Jerry Schatzberg110 min · RDrama, Romance, Crime
“God help Bobby and Helen, they're in love in Needle Park”

Nobody in Needle Park can say where the money comes from or where it goes, only that the next hit is always the next problem. Helen (Kitty Winn), alone and without a place to stay, falls in with Bobby (Al Pacino), a young addict who hustles small jobs to keep himself supplied. Jerry Schatzberg follows them as the love that gives her somewhere to belong begins to depend on what he needs to get through each day.
