Imaginary Crimes is a 1994 drama film directed by Anthony Drazan, and an adaptation of Sheila Ballantynes 1982 novel of the same name. The film stars Harvey Keitel and Fairuza Balk, and tells the story of Ray Weiler Keitel, a widowed hustler trying to raise his two daughters in 1962 Portland, Oregon.
