SYNOPSIS: In this second of Francis Ford Coppola's back-to-back screen adaptations of novels by S. E. Hinton, the grand romanticism of The Outsiders was flipped to create an expressionist, monochrome vision of youthful passion and melancholy, and became one of Coppola's most personal and dazzling works.

Against a run-down, industrial Tulsa, Oklahoma, Coppola presents a vivid portrait of troubled teenage gang leader Rusty James (Matt Dillon) as he struggles with cohorts, rival gangs, his frustrated girlfriend Patty (Diane Lane), his estranged father (Dennis Hopper), and the return of his idolised older brother The Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Rourke).

An audacious depiction of gang violence, dead-end lives, and the ties that bind, Rumble Fish remains a cult favourite and features magnificent cinematography by Stephen H. Burum, a Golden Globe-winning score by Stewart Copeland, and a remarkable cast that also includes Nicolas Cage, Chris Penn, Tom Waits, and Laurence Fishburne. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the world-première release of Rumble Fish on Blu-ray & Blu-ray SteelBook.

Masters of Cinema are really doing us proud this year. Vowed I would not get too much into steelbooks (digibooks are my thing) but how can I resist the beauties that MoC are releasing - got to have them all!

Db was right - I am going over to the dark side! :drool:

Yes, that is true, i also love them :drool:
 
The MoC preorders have been at £18 for a while. Ordered them a couple of weeks ago with the 20% off code making them only £14.40 each :scat:
 
I remember this because of Stewart Copeland (drummer in The Police) doing the soundtrack just after or just as the group broke up. Back in the day it was still a bit strange for your regular pop/rock heroes doing that type of stuff. The Amazon.com site even has samples.

As usual MoC look to have done a wonderful jub and their movies are getting far more modern recently.

I dont have any of the Masters of Cinema series, but this is one which I will probably get. I remember when I was much younger, being introduced to the so-called Brat Pack with this movie, so it has a special place in my movie viewing history. Of course, at that time, Francis Ford Coppola didnt ring a bell for me, LOL!
