The Penetrating Louis Cyphre in `Angel Heart



My wife and I just watched the 2003 film `The Life of David Gale, and learned that the same man directed a 1987 film so gripping and disturbing as to stay with me: `Angel Heart.  Private investigator Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) meets Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) for the first time, and the tête-à-tête has creepy  written all over it.  The dapper man wears a penetrating look and pointed, manicured fingernails.  He is of course Lucifer, and he forges one of the most frightening devil films I know.
