Watching: The Super

Overview

Scuggs, the utterly unpleasant super of a Bronx tenement is driven to desperate measures by an innocent-appearing, but manipulative 11 year-old girl. Based on the graphic novel by American Master Will Eisner, Meinecke combines larger-than-life characters, borrows from the traditions of melodrama and applies a visual language derived from German Expressionists to create a haunting tale, that won particular favor with New York critics.
