English Summary:

Trees Lounge is a 1996 comedy-drama film and the debut of Steve Buscemi as writer and director. It was produced by Brad Wyman and Chris Hanley and features a large ensemble cast of actors, including Buscemi, Anthony LaPaglia, Chloë Sevigny, and Samuel L. Jackson. The film's black humor, based on examination of characters' self-destructive behavior, has been cited as an influence by The Sopranos creator David Chase, who later hired Buscemi to direct "Pine Barrens" and three other episodes of the show, and to star as Tony Soprano's cousin Tony Blundetto during the show's fifth season.

It was filmed in Glendale, Queens; Brooklyn; and Valley Stream, New York

Plot:

Tommy Basilio is an alcoholic and fixture at a local bar, the Trees Lounge, who loses his girlfriend of eight years and his job as a mechanic. After his Uncle Al dies while driving his ice cream truck, Tommy goes to his wake and indulges in cocaine with his brother and cousins. Tommy takes them to the Trees Lounge to carry on drinking, but a brawl breaks out between his cousin and Mike, another regular. After buying more beer at a late night convenience store, Mike and Tommy discuss how Tommy stole money from Rob, the owner of the garage where he lost his job. They discuss how Rob is seeing Tommy's ex-girlfriend, Theresa, who may or may not be bearing his child.

Hungarian Summary:

Tommy Basilio mostanság minden szempontból a béka feneke alatt van. Leginkább egy kocsmában ücsörög és iszik. Legalább is, amióta főnöke kirúgta a szerelőműhelyből, mert túl mélyre nyúlt a kasszába. Sőt mi több, épp a volt góré kedvéért hagyta el a barátnője; aki ráadásul terhes, így azon is el lehet mélázni két sör között, vajon ki az apa? Steve Busemi kis költségvetésű, a Sundance fesztiválon díjat nyert független filmje színes életkép New York félhomályosabb utcáinak mindennapjairól, ahol - főleg a kocsmában - különös figurák, törzsvendégek, és alkalmilag betérő alakok vétkeznek: lopják a napot, agyonütik az időt, és a garatra is feldöntenek...
