Plot
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. Features rarely seen views of New York, including a climactic scene shot atop the Brooklyn Bridge.

Reviews:
Chicago Tribune (5.0) ""Impressive! Argo rarely had a showcase like this and deserved one.""
The New York Times (5.0) ""Lustre is a post-9/11 love letter to a New York past. And its love for New York
shines in every frame.""
Salon.com (5.0) ""Jones' filmmaking is stunning and, more important, the passion for this city [New
York]—its people and landscape—is pure.""
New York Post (5.0) ""If Travis Bickle, the madman in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, had lived into his
60's, he might have ended up like Hugo. Lustre is a loving tribute to New York.""
