THE FILM THAT PUT SCORSESE ON THE PROVERBIAL MAP -- ARRIVED IN NIPPON NEARLY A DECADE LATER.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a rare 1980 movie poster design for 1973's "Mean Streets," the Martin Scorsese crime drama classic w/ Robert De Niro & Harvey Keitel (this was the film's first Japanese theatrical release).

MINI-OVERVIEW: "Celebrated as one of the most original American films of all time, Martin Scorsese’s "Mean Streets" holds a firm place among the best crime films we ever had the pleasure of seeing. It’s not easy to pinpoint what exactly makes it so damn good — whether it’s the memorable Keitel-De Niro on-screen collaboration, master Scorsese’s direction or the screenplay Scorsese wrote with his fellow student and frequent writing partner Mardik Martin — but it hardly matters anyway. It’s definitely one of the cinematic high points of the 70s and, as Ebert put it, "one of the source points of modern movies.""

El Crimen del Padre Amaro (2002, Carlos Carrera) 🇲🇽

With release delayed a few months to avoid collision with the Pope's visit, around the time the Catholic church was being exposed for pedophilia all over the world, the film broke box office records in Mexico after the country’s Catholic leadership and conservative / anti-abortion groups tried to ban it, driving even more people to see it.

It proceeded to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards and won Best Picture at the Ariel Awards.

hello, dolly! (gene kelly, 1969) being the last old hollywood movie musical and fiddler on the roof (norman jewison, 1971) being one of (if not THE) first new hollywood movie musicals is absolutely incredible to me in terms of both films’ cinematographic approaches and continued cultural relevancy
