In the early 1980s, Al Pacino acted in such average success films as Friedkin's controversial Cruising (1980), the comedy Author! Author!

Al Pacino returned to the box office again in Hugh Hudson's historical epic Revolution (1985), in which he played Tom Dobb, a simple and illiterate trapper. After a four years hiatus, in 1989, Pacino made his directional debut with The Local Stigmatic and went back on screen playing alcoholic detective Frank Keller in Harold Becker's Sea of Love.

Al Pacino is one of finest actors in the world. His endless range, his emotion, his anger, his laughter, and those eyes have made for some very memorable moments in cinematic history. He ... knows how to party with the best of them (though no one outdoes Jack Nicholson).

During his self-imposed exile from film in the 1980s, Pacino immersed himself in theater. According to Breslin, "He stepped back and went to where he always felt at home - three flights up in a drafty place where they can put down enough chairs to call it a theater." He performed in Julius Caesar and gave readings at colleges and small theaters. He directed The Local Stigmatic and filmed it starring himself. It remains unreleased to the public. Stigmatic is a movie adaptation of a Heathcote Williams play that Pacino performed during his early days on the stage in 1968.
