Serpico


Recently I watched Pacino's 1973 corrupt cop flick Serpico.  The film is impeccable.  That part was no surprise. The 70's had Pacino at his best, long before Scent Of A Woman killed his career by turning him into a living caricature of himself, but I digress.  What did surprise me was how great the character's style was and how natural and cool the normally suit-and-tied Pacino looked in it.


None of the clothes look like costumes.  Nothing is perfectly fitted and it's all a little worn.  It just looks so genuine.  It's perfect. 


I can't say I'm not a little inspired.
