Review of Mean Streets (1973) by Bass 9 — 07 May 2009
Shot with a swagger, Scorsese's breakthrough film blazed with rock 'n' roll energy, rebooting the sound of cinema. For me, it is 'Be My Baby' that is one of the most important milestones in the history of cinema and it defines the background of the small-time mob.
Harvey Keitel kick starts his career, but who really made his mark was Robert DeNiro as the neurotic Johnny Boy. Try imagining Reservoir Dogs or GoodFellas without it, seriously.
