What we have here is "Eraserhead" for the 1980s. Jennifer Jason Leigh keeps her clothes on for a change. The entire film takes place in a rundown Art-Deco era nightclub, and there is really no story, just endless strange happenings and images. I suppose if you are looking for some kind of deep meaning to this movie, hallucinogenic drugs might be the only thing that could provide a tad of understanding. For the sober viewer the entire film will come across as nothing more than a bad dream experience. Frank Stallone is a police inspector and his performance is one of his few subdued characters. The rest of the cast, including Peter Coyote, are totally forgettable. Bizarre is not enough, and thus "Heart at Midnight" cannot be recommended. MERK
