Critics Consensus

Led by a fearless performance from Gerard Depardieu, Welcome to New York is director Abel Ferrara at his most repulsive -- and most compulsively watchable.

4.0

Few actors in the world are better suited to play a gluttonous pig than Gerard Depardieu, and I mean that in the best possible way one can make such an assertion.

3/4

[The] deliberate structure demonstrates Ferrara's artfulness, as does the lush imagery.

3/4

The film, a sleek and oddly moving study in the cost of debauchery, has its gleeful excesses.

Ferrara articulates that this is a New York he no longer recognizes; it has to be viewed from afar now, it is invested with a spirit he no longer comprehends. Nevertheless, Devereaux’s downfall must be witnessed in all its unseemly detail...

4/5

The contrast between Ferrara's seething hot rage and the cold, clean gloom of his images remains compelling throughout.

Abel Ferrara ("Bad Lieutenant") es un director salvaje que busca incomodar al espectador. Y lo logra de una manera brutal con "Welcome To New York", una perturbadora obra maestra basada en hechos reales acerca del sexo, el poder y la riqueza. "Welcome to New York" nos cuenta la historia del Sr. Deveraux, un diplomático francés y director del Banco Mundial, quien vive impulsado por el deseo de devorarse al mundo. El Sr. Deveraux vive en un mundo de derroche, orgías y consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Cuando intenta violar a la mucama de un hotel, el Sr. Derevaux se ve envuelto en un escándalo que lo afectará tanto a él como a su esposa Simone. Gérard Depardieu interpreta al Sr. Deveraux como un elefante hedonista y monstruoso que gruñe, sisea y solo piensa en su propio placer. Jacqueline Bisset interpreta a Simone como una esposa/madre, que limpia la suciedad dejada por su esposo/hijo. En este recuento lleno de sexo y sin concesiones, Ferrara logra mostrarnos cómo el dinero corrompe y cómo nadie en realidad quiere ser salvado.
