Bringing Out the Dead — 4K 09/17/24
Paramount Presents
4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray
Martin Scorsese and Paul Schrader teamed several times, and this harrowing nightmare about Ambulance EMTs trying to wade through the chaos of drug & gang-ridden Manhattan is an effort that deserves more praise. Nicolas Cage’s EMT Frank is flipping out under the stress of the work and a guilt complex he can’t shake. He tries to get personally involved with Rosanna Arquette’s equally shaken Manhattanite, but is driven even more mad than his fellow emergency responders John Goodman, Ving Rhames and Tom Sizemore. The ‘mean streets’ have taken hold of Frank, who is succumbing to a serious dose of Catholic guilt … and the movie abounds with hallucinatory visuals and religious symbolism. On 4K Ultra-HD + Blu-ray from Paramount Presents.
