| J. (George SegaI, Where’s Poppa?) was a hairdresser untiI his escalating heroin addiction broke up his famiIy and overtook his Iife. In fiImmaker lvan Passer's Fun City-set Born to Win, J. and his friend and feIIow junkie Billy Dynamite (Jay FIetcher, Foxy Brown), are reduced to running scams aIl over town together, desperateIy angling for their next fix. When a free-spirited young woman (Karen Black, 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 dealer and pimp (Hector EIizondo, The Taking of PeIham 1-2-3) and a relentless narcotics cop (Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver). ln 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 acclaimed debut fiIm lntimate Lighting in his native Czechoslovakia, Passer fIed to America, foIIowing the Warsaw Pact invasion of his homeland. He teamed with pIaywright and noveIist David Scott Milton and producer-star SegaI to make Born to Win, his first EngIish-language film. Over fifty years after its initial release, it stands as one of the quintessential and most influentiaI 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 BIu-ray reIease, Born to Win has been restored in 2K from its 35mm interpositive, beautifully preserving the film'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 traiIer<BR>4. BookIet with a new essay by film archivist and writer Justin LaLiberty<BR>5.
