Quelle est cette voix qui s'immisce dans l'espace filmique ? Un chant universel ? Une prière intérieure ? Une conclusion toute trouvée face à une histoire rocambolesque ? Un appel à la méditation et aux souvenirs ? Celle d'un mort... Il est communément admis qu'une voix-off est une technique utilisée pour mieux parler au spectateur afin de créer un rapport de confiance entre lui et un univers souvent fantastique et insaisissable (Fréquemment hors-champ). Si quelques mouvances artistiques en ont fait une marque de fabrique (le film Noir), d'autres cinéastes se sont rapidement distingués par un usage massif de cet étrange outil narratif. Le moyen pour eux de sortir du carcan que seuls les personnages à l'écran doivent parler. Une voix omnisciente qui voyage au-dessus de la pellicule, se ballade de séquences en séquences pour mieux toucher et interpeller notre fort intérieur. Une voix qui plante un contexte ou insémine une dose de mystère et de distanciation

"Sorry boys, all the stitches in the world can't sew me together again. Lay down... lay down. Gonna stretch me out in Fernandez funeral home on Hun and Ninth street. Always knew I'd make a stop there, but a lot later than a whole gang of people thought... Last of the Moh-Ricans... well maybe not the last. Gail's gonna be a good mom... New improved Carlito Brigante... Hope she uses the money to get out. No room in this city for big hearts like hers... "

"When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And for a while, I believed, that's the kind of love I had." Sam Rothstein

And there is the account of the hanging of three men, and a scuba diver, and a suicide. There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time." Narrator

"Chapter One. He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion. Eh uh, no, make that he, he romanticized it all out of proportion. Better. To him, no matter what the season was, this was still a town that existed in black and white and pulsated to the great tunes of George Gershwin. Uh, no, let me start this over. Chapter One..."
