172 Hi, Mom!

#1 Post by Finch »

Image

Aspiring adult film-maker Jon Rubin (Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver) returns from a tour of Vietnam and, armed with his film camera, attempts to find meaning and inspiration in the counter-culture of New York in 1970. Rubin graduates from surreptitiously filming his neighbours, to joining a militant Black experimental theatre group, before flirting with full-scale domestic terrorism, in this hilariously madcap satire that has still retained its outrageous power to shock, fifty years after initially stunning American audiences. Making its world premiere on 4K UHD, Hi, Mom! is a vital work of the early New Hollywood, and a key work in the career of master director Brian De Palma.
