“Its hard-to-pin-down tone is frighteningly original — simultaneously world-weary and adolescent with an aura of perpetual anxiety, as if the characters and filmmakers were in pursuit of a catharsis everyone knows will never come...”
Screened in tribute to Tom Sizemore (1961-2023)
Nicolas Cage stars as Frank: a burnt-out ambulance paramedic who is haunted by the patients he failed to save... Written by Paul Schrader and with a supporting cast that includes Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Michael Kenneth Williams and a truly terrifying and scene-stealing Tom Sizemore, Bringing Out the Dead is Martin Scorsese's thrilling (and beautifully shot) return to the mean streets of Manhattan - and the soundtrack is just as fantastic as you'd expect.
