Summary: 4 Stars
"The Wanderers" is an entertaining nostalgia piece about the exploits of a group of Italian-American teenage gangmembers who engage in various turf wars with other gangs of varied ethnic types. The film contains many amusing vignettes and I highly recommend it. That said, the film definitely is aiming to comment on more serious issues and it is there that it falls short. It is the very stylishness that director Philip Kaufman employs that undermines this goal. The social upheavals of the time are treated perfunctorily so they have no real resonance. The soundtrack, though appropriate(Dion and the Belmonts, The Four Seasons) comes off as somewhat hollow. I kept thinking that if Martin Scorsese, who later collaborated with writer Richard Price, author of the film's source novel, had directed this film it would be a completely different animal. If your looking for a better film that deals with the social upheaval that occured in the Bronx at approximately this period of time a better film would be "A Bronx Tale", the only feature to be helmed by Robert DeNiro.
