Mean Streets
Mean Streets (1973), Martin Scorsese:
So I mentioned before that I never really understood Martin Scorsese, but the more I watch, it turns out that I just don't understand Goodfellas (and the terrible Casino).
I mean, this was so good. I expected something a little more raw and rougher, but though it's weird seeing Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel before they settled into their perennial characters, there's nothing else about the movie that's really under-developed. It's a view of New York on par with Taxi Driver or that poetic (but irritating) American Express commercial.
