THE Tribeca Film Festival ended Saturday night with a bang — a special 25th anniversary screening of the Martin Scorsese gangster flick “Goodfellas.”
“Goodfellas” cast, including Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco, were all at the screening for a reunion.
“Goodfellas” is based on the true-life story of Henry Hill, who was part of a notorious New York-based crime syndicate.
Along with its art-house style visuals it was the movie’s powerful rock soundtrack that gave it a cult following.
Bracco talked about how it was working with director Scorsese on the film.
“I remember asking, ‘what are you thinking about when you’re doing that,’ and he says ‘I want to shoot this like a gangster. I want to shoot it the way I want to shoot it.’”
Many regard the Oscar-nominated mob tale as more than just a great film of the crime genre but also one of the greatest movies of all time.
A special 25th anniversary edition of “Goodfellas” will be available on Blu-ray and Digital HD from May 5.(SD-Agencies)
