Product Description

25 years ago, legendary director Martin Scorsese (KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON) reteamed with screenwriter Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER, RAGING BULL) for one of their most compelling gems of their storied careers—BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. Nicolas Cage is Frank Pierce, a paramedic on the brink of madness. Patricia Arquette is the daughter of a man Frank tried to save. Together, they’ll need to confront the ghosts of the past to discover redemption among the living. The powerhouse supporting cast includes John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Marc Anthony and Tom Sizemore. Featuring all-new interviews with Scorsese and Cage, this must-have limited-edition Paramount Presents marks the movie’s debut on both Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD, remastered from a new transfer of the original camera negative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saw it as a kid, got me into medicine
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2021

Lemme first say, the soundtrack is inspired. It's Scorsese at the end of the 90s, it had to be, so, if for nothing else, check it out for the music and it'll take you on a wild ride.

This is the movie that inspired me to get into emergency medicine, which led me to being a firefighter and an Army Medic.

It's Martin Scorsese directing Nick Cage. If you know anything about either of them, you know that's a dynamite combination. Add to the fact that it's basically Nick Cage playing Nick Cage (as Nick Cage), that it wasn't just the perfect role for him (short of the line "My mother always said I look like a priest"), but that the adapted character was essentially him, and you've got basically the perfect dark-comedy movie.

This thing bombed in its own time, and how could it not? How do you advertise this or categorize it? Amazon has it listed as "drama horror suspense". I mean, I guess that's what medicine is? You don't see too many films about that (Lorenzo's Oil was more about biochemistry, but still, put yourself in Susan's shoes: horrific). But those categories belie what this movie actually is: a pitch-black romantic comedy.

The dialogue in this movie is genuinely HILARIOUS, and it comes from a real place, the streets of New York City, but without the baggage of fake or overplayed accents; genuine wit and dry, deadpan humor. The romance angle is kind of sweet but hobbled, half-baked and honestly cringe at points (the weakest part of the film), but it felt like necessary shoeleather to thread together the 3 nights of EMT work, and of course it was directly related to the crux of the film, Mary's father, the first patient of the movie.

Oh, and reporting back after a having been a hospital medic and OSHA First Responder/EMT for a few years, the medicine is absolutely spot on (how could it not? The author of the source material, who wrote the novel as a semi-autobiographical catharsis was the medical advisor). The only mistake I saw were the CPR compressions, but if you're doing that for real on a human who doesn't need it done, that will kill them.

If you want a crazy-good movie, if you ever watched the TLC shows about the ER, if you're a medical professional yourself who somehow has never heard of this, WATCH IT RIGHT NOW BEFORE IT GOES AWAY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent movie
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

This movie is very real. All the actors, Cage, Arquette, Sizemore, Rhames , Goodman delivered in their incredible acting abilities , the heartbreaking aspects of being a Paramedic who work long hours in a city where cruelty, drug addiction is neverending. Being a Rn, I have had the utmost respect for paramedics. The PTSD they have being first responsers, is clearly a sad but a realistic part of their job. Sciorrce delivers a drama that has one, realizng the battles these incredible first responders have to deal with. Cage, as usual does a fantastic job showing the reality, sadness, guilt that these paramedics have to deal with- especially in New York City. I remember when the bad heroin was on the streets. I personally, deal with drug addicts and the population that many just turn a blind eye to. Again, for those who like drama and realism, this is one movie you don't want to miss. I only ask that those who judge victims of drug abuse and alcoholism, to remember it is a disease. These people, including prostitutes, are victims of the system. Please remember that you or your loved ones may fall victims of the very things that Sciorrce awesomelly and realistically portrays in, as usual, in his film. Again, Kudos for all the actors in this movie. Cage, as usual does not act. Rather he "becomes the person" he is portaying. In this case- the protagonist, who drawls at the heartstrings of what it is to a Paramedic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scorsese and Cage: Howling at the Moon
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2007

This is a rediculously underrated and little-seen gem of a movie. Scorsese, just coming off of the comparably subdued Kundun and Age of Innocence, returns to his roots recruiting fellow outlaw Paul Schrader for a crazy, religious, surreal film full of everything that the New York night has to offer. The story is basicaly the archityplical Scorsese situation: the lone social misfit must travel a road of violence and guilt to find redemption from a woman who is the embodiement of madonna/harlot. In Taxi Driver a taxi was the hero's chariot that takes him on his journey, in Casino it was an exploding car, in The Aviator it was the dream of the spruce goose's impossible flight, here it's an ambulence that carries him into the night. This film's night pulses with an insane energy and life-force and Scorsese captures every dirty, gritty, lunatic moment of it and throws it back in your face with an obscene relish. Nearly every frame of this movie throbs with electricity as Cage's character is tempted to do the right thing, the apathetic thing, or (literally) throw down the gear-shift and speed off screaming into the night (upside-down no less) in a scene that is remniscent of "Slackers" where a camera is thrown off of a cliff. Now sure this film is extremely kinetic and the in-your-face grit and violence won't do anything for anyone who gets excited at the thought of staying home on a Saturday night for a Merchant-Ivory marathon, but if you're willing to take the plunge then Scorsese is more than willing to light some fire works in your brain.

Non credo di poter scrivere una recensione di questo prodotto in maniera "oculata" ne sulla parte tecnica tanto meno su quella "ludica".
Questo film non'è un "capolavoro" ma è sempre stato di mio gradimento tanto da cercarlo e trovarlo quì su amazon (fortuna) in edizione Inglese (ma con lingua italiana).
Non aggiungo altro per i motivi sopra citati ma trovo che l'edizione, seppur spoglia di extra e forse criticabile in generale, sia davvero buona.
Oltre tutto, a quanto mi è dato sapere, questa è l'unica pubblicazione che include la lingua italiana.
Io ne sono rimasto molto soddisfatto ... ed il film trovo sia favoloso.
Debbo ringraziare amazon Italia per aver reso possibile l'acquisto di questa edizione.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and engrossing cinema from a truly great team.

Frank Pierce is a member of the Nork York paramedics, serving the Hell's Kitchen district he is witness to some terrible incidents. As he starts to crack under the pressure of the job, and getting no help from a succession of zany partners, Frank may just find solace with an ex-junkie girl who's father he brought in dying of a heart attack.

Martin Scorsese can never be accused of not being adventurous, after dabbling in Eastern spiritualism with 1997s Kundun, he returns to New York and tackles a wing of America's tortured heroes. Based on the novel by Joe Connelly, Bringing Out The Dead is at times a difficult watch in many ways, but it's haunting poignancy is told with brilliantly adroit ease from one of America's famed directors, whilst it has to be said that the humour that is in there is darkly genius in its execution. We are along for the ride with haunted Frank for three days (and nights) as he and his borderline bonkers partners deal with overdoses, heart attacks, drunks and a notably cynical virgin birth! As Frank starts to see ghosts of people he couldn't save in the past, Scorsese and his team treat us to an adrenalin fuelled nightmare, the editing (Thelma Schoonmaker) is swift and explosive like, Robert Richardson's cinematography framing certain aspects of this journey with impacting deftness, and then we have the soundtrack.

Scorsese is always a man who takes great care in sound tracking his movies, in fact few modern day directors can touch his knack for a perfect soundtrack. Fusing Motown with 70s Punk Rock would seem an odd combination, but all of it works as the paramedics start to feel the strain and (in some cases) as the mania takes hold. It's rare to hear a New York Dolls track in a movie, to hear a Johnny Thunders solo track is as rare as a dog that speaks Norwegian, and here the use of Thunders' You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory is pitch perfect, impacting so. Such is the use of early Clash standards as our protagonists feed off each others precarious mental conditions, it's a soundtrack to savour basically.

Nicholas Cage plays Frank Pierce, and it's a great performance full of restraint and honesty, it's the sort of performance that his detractors tend to forget about such is its emotive simplicity. Tom Sizemore (wonderfully manic), Ving Rhames, John Goodman and Patricia Arquette fill out the cast and all do fine work, but I'm sure they would be the first to acknowledge the excellence of Paul Schrader's screenplay. This piece is far from being a masterpiece, but with it's intensity sitting side by side with a paramedics need for coping, it's clear that Scorsese and his talented team have made one of the most astute and undervalued pieces of the 90s. 9/10
