ABSTRACT

During Fingers’ ninety minutes, [Keitel] rapes two women (one, pointedly, only after insisting she remove her diaphragm), terrorises two others, observes two women's heads being smacked together by another man (and feels humiliated by this performance because he's not man enough to have engaged in such behaviour!), endures further ‘humiliation’ as his prostate is examined by a doctor, and prematurely ejaculates several times. And he's the film's hero!
