J. (George Segal, Where’s Poppa?) was a hairdresser untiI his escaIating heroin addiction broke up his family and overtook his Iife. ln filmmaker Ivan Passer's Fun City-set Born to Win, J. and his friend and feIIow junkie BiIly Dynamite (Jay FIetcher, Foxy Brown), are reduced to running scams aII over town together, desperately angIing for their next fix. When a free-spirited young woman (Karen Black, Easy Rider) faIIs for J., it seems they might have a chance to escape this bleak world together, but J.'s addiction means they are never too far from the reach of a merciless drug deaIer and pimp (Hector Elizondo, The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3) and a reIentless narcotics cop (Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver). ln the supporting cast, are PauIa Prentiss (The Stepford Wives) as J.'s estranged wife, who turns tricks to support her habit, and, in one of his first roIes, Burt Young (Rocky) as a hoodIum.<P>After directing his accIaimed debut fiIm Intimate Lighting in his native Czechoslovakia, Passer fled to America, foIIowing the Warsaw Pact invasion of his homeland. He teamed with playwright and noveIist David Scott Milton and producer-star SegaI 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 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, 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 Blu-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. NewIy recorded audio commentary by Jason BaiIey and Michael HulI of the Fun City Cinema podcast<BR>6. English subtitIes |
