Saturday Night Fever(1977)

6.7/10

dir. John Badham

B-Tier

Modern audiences expecting Grease get blindsided by how dark this film actually is. It has more in common with Mean Streets than with a musical, and that disconnect drives a lot of the mixed Letterboxd reception. The B-Tier transfer is better than its reputation suggests and this remains the best way to watch it at home. A film that rewards watching in context rather than through a modern lens.
