Kino Lorber are preparing a Blu-ray release of Matthew Harrison's Rhythm Thief (1994), starring Jason Andrews, Kimberly Flynn, Kevin Corrigan, Eddie Daniels, Sean Hagerty, Mark Alfred, and Cynthia Sley. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on December 10.
Description: Winner of the Best Director Prize at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival and Best Dramatic Feature at SXSW, Rhythm Thief has been restored in 4K to its gritty B&W glory from the 16mm camera negatives. Jason Andrews (Last Exit to Brooklyn) is Simon, a New York City bootlegger who sells stolen music on the streets of Manhattan's Lower East Side. Ludlow Street chick Cyd (Kimberley Flynn, Michael Mann's Heat), who has a real job, meets Simon on weekday mornings for sex. Life is good for Simon, until the day he rips off 1-900-BOXX, a militant all-girl punk band fronted by real life rocker Cynthia Sley (of the Bush Tetras). The band comes after Simon, trounces his would-be sidekick Fuller (Kevin Corrigan, The Departed), and ultimately hounds him out of the city with Marty (Eddie Daniels, Bad Lieutenant), a girl from his past, in tow. After a period of exile in Far Rockaway, Simon is drawn back to the neighborhood for a final showdown.
