About
(Michael Mann, US, 1981, 123 min, in English)
As he inches closer to his dream of leading a normal life, a professional safecracker agrees to do a job for the mafia, who have other plans for him.
Released in the US as Violent Streets, Michael Manns super-influential, minimalist neo-noir looks as authentic and original today as it did in 1981. (On the subject of authenticity: Mann used real thieves as technical advisors on the film!)
Donald Thorins icily brilliant cinematography and a relentless, driving soundtrack by Tangerine Dream top off a smoldering, humid heap of a film whose showers of safecracking sparks stay permanently primed to fly into the unwitting, flammable imaginations of generations of audiences.

Moved to memorialize the late James Caan, NWFF programmers jumped the queue to find a calendar slot for Brenans summer pick: Michael Manns Thief.
Caans tough-talking roles belied the softness and humor of an everydad. While a full-body frizz and burly physique may have made him a 70s sex symbol, reinforced by roles as a passionate, raw-knuckled criminal, the cheeky humor that danced at the corners of his perennially squinty peepers bewitched anyone with an inclination to watch a little closer.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Executive Director Cara Mia Harris at caramia@nwfilmforum.org
