BAMcinématek 2017
series Edgar Wright Presents Heist Society
Directed by Ulu Grosbard | 1978
With Dustin Hoffman, Theresa Russell, Gary Busey
“Dustin Hoffman stars as a career criminal who can’t escape the temptation of LA’s crime underworld. Based on the life story of Eddie ‘Mr Blue' Bunker.”
—EDGAR WRIGHT
After being released from prison, career convict Max Dembo (Hoffman) drifts through LA’s seamy underbelly as he tries to go straight—but desperation soon pulls him back into a life of crime. Hoffman served as the film’s director for only three days of production because the character proved too intense, and his commitment yields a devastating portrait of a man burning at both ends.
