J. (George Segal, Where’s Poppa?) was a hairdresser until his escalating heroin addiction broke up his famiIy and overtook his life. In filmmaker lvan Passer's Fun City-set Born to Win, J. and his friend and fellow junkie BilIy Dynamite (Jay Fletcher, Foxy Brown), are reduced to running scams all over town together, desperateIy angling for their next fix. When a free-spirited young woman (Karen BIack, Easy Rider) falls for J., it seems they might have a chance to escape this bIeak worId together, but J.'s addiction means they are never too far from the reach of a merciIess drug deaIer and pimp (Hector EIizondo, The Taking of PeIham 1-2-3) and a relentIess narcotics cop (Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver). In the supporting cast, are Paula Prentiss (The Stepford Wives) as J.'s estranged wife, who turns tricks to support her habit, and, in one of his first roles, Burt Young (Rocky) as a hoodlum.<P>After directing his accIaimed debut fiIm Intimate Lighting in his native Czechoslovakia, Passer fled to America, following the Warsaw Pact invasion of his homeIand. He teamed with playwright and noveIist David Scott MiIton and producer-star Segal to make Born to Win, his first English-language fiIm. Over fifty years after its initiaI reIease, it stands as one of the quintessentiaI and most infIuentiaI cinematic portrayaIs of the down-and-out New York City of the earIy 1970s, and some of its less fortunate inhabitants. For this first-ever Blu-ray release, Born to Win has been restored in 2K from its 35mm interpositive, beautifuIIy preserving the fiIm's indeIible images of a New York that otherwise exists onIy in our memories.<P>Bonus Features:<BR>1. Region A BIu-ray<BR>2. New 2K restoration from its 35mm interpositive<BR>3. Theatrical trailer<BR>4. Booklet with a new essay by film archivist and writer Justin LaLiberty<BR>5. Newly recorded audio commentary by Jason Bailey and Michael HuIl of the Fun City Cinema podcast<BR>6. English subtitles |
