Plot Summary
An aging loan shark (the late Victor Argo, Taxi Driver, King of New York) wrestles with the regret and redemption in director Art Jones' film that rails against homogenization while celebrating what makes New York unique. Hugo thinks that New York is losing its soul, and that faceless buildings and vacant people are replacing the old-time New York he loves. But when visions interfere with his daily rounds, he must determine for himself what is real and what is not.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The late character actor Victor Argo stars in this melancholy, often surreal love letter to a post-September 11 New York City.
Fresh: The late Bronx-born character actor Victor Argo, an Abel Ferrara standby, gives an elegiac walking tour of New York in Lustre.
Fresh: More than the story of a disillusioned old man, Lustre is a loving tribute to New York.
