In David Mamet’s cinema, nothing is as it seems—so you better know what you’re looking for. Unfortunately, the protagonist of Mamet’s nightmarish urban odyssey Homicide, inner-city police detective Bobby Gold (Joe Mantegna), is as bewildered about who he is as who (or what) he’s after. Gold’s investigation, following the murder of an elderly Jewish candy-shop owner, leads him down a path of obscure encounters and clues, to a profound reckoning with his own identity. Filled with Mamet’s trademark verbal play and featuring standout supporting performances from William H. Macy, Ving Rhames, and Rebecca Pidgeon, Homicide is a taut, rich work from a true American original.

Release Notes on Restoration
Homicide
Homicide is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen are normal for this format. Supervised by editor Barbara Tulliver, this high-definition digital transfer was created on a Spirit DataCine from a 35mm interpositive and a 35mm interpositive. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, warps, jitter, and flicker were removed using MTI’s DRS and Pixel Farm’s PFClean, while Digital Vision’s Phoenix was used for small dirt.
The stereo soundtrack was remastered at 24-bit from the original LT/RT magnetic print master. Clicks, thumps, hiss, and hum were manually removed using Pro Tools HD.
