Seminal film from the first years of Film on Four, novelist Jordan’s directorial début is a stunning piece of cinema that traces the effects of a sax player’s witness to a horrible sectarian murder (Rea in one of his first roles). Beautifully scripted and shot, ANGEL was an accomplished calling card for both its fledgling filmmaker and the new channel committed to making feature films alongside its small screen drama.
