- David Gordon Green. David Gordon Green’s Manglehorn stars the great Al
Pacino. Reclusive small town locksmith
Angelo Manglehorn has never quite recovered from losing the love of his life,
Clara. Fixated on her memory, he feels closer to his beloved cat than the
people around him and prefers to find comfort in his work and daily routine.
Still, he forges on with his tenuous human connections, maintaining
intermittent contact with his son, taking misplaced pride in a former protégé
gone astray, and establishing a cautious friendship with a kindhearted woman
from the local bank. As this solitary man approaches the possibility of new
love, he finds himself at a crossroads between remaining consumed by the past
and embracing the present. Manglehorn is a movingly humanistic portrait of a
man rendered with unsentimental simplicity and idiosyncratic humor.
