Spanking the Monkey directed by David O. Russell

The link above directs to a review by Emanuel Levy. Levy gives his personal review of the movie "Spanking the Monkey". "His feature debut, Spanking the Monkey, is a gleefully subversive, bleakly comic family saga seething with misanthropy," Levy states as begins his review. Levy even has an "About Me" section on this website http://emanuellevy.com/aboutme.php?articleID=33 which states, "I studied sociology of culture at Columbia, where I received a Ph.D., at a time when there was M.A. but no doctorate in film studies. I belong to a small group of film scholars who have juggled two careers: teaching and criticism. Over the years, I have taught film at Columbia University, the New School of Social Research, Wellesley College, Arizona State University, and UCLA Film School (since 2003)." Russell produced this film in 1994, five years prior to "Three Kings". Russell has also acted, edited and even produced films. The full film filmography of David O.
