Mean Streets(1973)

7.1/10

dir. Martin Scorsese

S-Tier

S-Tier Second Sight Films 4K. Early Scorsese, loud and rough. Criterion's 4K got a negative pro review that collectors have largely told each other to ignore, arguing the reviewer was comparing it to the old Blu-ray instead of judging the transfer on its own terms. Second Sight co-funded the new restoration and will likely use a Fidelity in Motion encode, which typically beats Criterion's Pixelogic encoding.
