I’ve probably said this before, but one of the many things I love about the state of home video these days is that there are so many boutique labels putting out so many wonderful, obscure movies. Movies I’d never even know existed if it weren’t for these releases. There are entire genres I wouldn’t even know about if it weren’t for boutique labels. Poliziotteschi, for one.
That Italian crime subgenre was completely unknown to me until I started reviewing some of those films, and now it is one of my favorite genres (as you can see from my reviews). Young, Violent, Dangerous is kind of a subgenre of Poliziotteschi, which, like the title implies, involves young men who have come to a life of crime more or less out of boredom.
It isn’t a great film, but I love that we not only have access to this type of film but we can own it in restored HD. I call that a win-win. You can read my full review over at Cinema Sentries.
