Dir. Martin Scorsese. 1973, 110 mins. 35mm. With Harvey Keitel, Robert De Niro. Some Scorsese trademarks—thugs, rock music, insomnia, kinetic editing, Keitel, and DeNiro—come together in Mean Streets, his breakthrough story of a wannabe gangster (Keitel) with more conscience than is good for business. The film synthesised his formative years in Little Italy, and its premiere at the New York Film Festival was a milestone, affirming his status as one of the most gifted American directors of his time.
