Book Presentation:
Mean Streets was Martin Scorsese’s third feature film, and the one that confirmed him as a major new talent. On its premiere at the New York Film Festival in 1973, the movie critic Pauline Kael hailed the film as "a true original of our period, a triumph of personal film-making." The story is set amid the bars, pool halls, tenements and streets of the few blocks of Manhattan known as Little Italy, Scorsese's childhood neighbourhood, one whose "very texture was interwoven with organised crime," and this in turn informs the texture of his film.
