Harvey Keitel, one of the most versatile and acclaimed actors of recent years, always willing to take on new, challenging roles ranging from the dissolute cop in Abel Ferrara's "Bad Lieutenant" and trigger-happy robber in Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs", to the taciturn settler in Jane Campion's "The Piano". Jack Hunter (author of film studies Inside Terradome and Eros in Hell) has selected his own chronological Top Ten of Harvey Keitel's movies, which are analysed in illustrated, in-depth essays by some of the best cutting-edge film critics of today.
