Altitude Films offers up a trailer for their 4K theatrical reissue of Mean Streets.
Altitude Films has released a trailer for their 4K theatrical reissue of Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets. The film arrives back in UK cinemas on 13th October followed by a release on digital platforms on 20th November. Altitude had the following news about the release:
Martin Scorsese’s electrifying vision of sin and redemption — one of the most influential works of American independent cinema — starring Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro. Presented in a new 4K digital restoration, approved by director Martin Scorsese and collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker. Martin Scorsese emerged as a generation-defining filmmaker with this gritty portrait of 1970s New York City, one of the most influential works of American independent cinema.
Set in the insular Little Italy neighbourhood of Scorsese’s youth, Mean Streets follows guilt-ridden small-time ringleader Charlie (Harvey Keitel) as he deals with the debts owed by his dangerously volatile best pal, Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro), and pressure from his headstrong girlfriend, Teresa (Amy Robinson). As their intertwined lives spiral out of control, Scorsese showcases his precocious mastery of film style—evident in everything from his propulsive editing rhythms to the lovingly curated soundtrack—to create an electrifying vision of sin and redemption.
Additionally, British label Second Sight will release the restoration, co-funded by Criterion, on 4K UHD Disc and Blu-Ray later this year, with Criterion handling the US release, on 21st November.
