Bad Lieutenant (1992) (Ultra HD-Blu-ray & Blu-ray) (UK Import)

Der Lieutenant ist ein drogenabhängiger, korrupter und wettsüchtiger New Yorker Polizist. Er ist ein Wrack, das seinen Schmerz in exzessiven Sexorgien ertränkt. Doch als eine Nonne von zwei Jungen vergewaltigt wird, wird er noch einmal aufgerüttelt. Denn von der Mafia werden 50.000 Dollar Belohnung ausgesetzt und der Lieutenant wittert die letzte Chance, sein kaputtes Leben wieder unter Kontrolle zu bekommen.

101 Films presents Abel Ferrara’s iconic neo-noir Bad Lieutenant (1992), released on 4K UHD in the UK for the first time. Driven by a career bestperformance by the legendary Harvey Keitel as the titular Lieutenant, Abel Ferrara’s unfiltered tale of self-destruction, guilt, forgiveness and redemption shocked audiences and critics alike with its uncompromising depiction of crime in New York’s seedy underbelly. In a career full of provocative filmmaking, the notorious Bad Lieutenant stands alone as Ferrara’s most incendiary and certainly his finest piece of work.

For twenty years, he has ruled the streets—gambling, stealing, using, killing. A corrupt, drug-addicted New York City cop spirals deeper into vice while investigating the brutal assault of a young nun. As the case forces him to confront his own sins, he walks the line of self-destruction and the elusive promise of redemption.
