Jim Carroll in den Strassen von New York (Blu-ray)

Although he receives a high school scholarship at the age of 13 thanks to his basketball talent, the young Jim Carroll (Leonardo DiCaprio) increasingly gets on the wrong track in New York in the 70s. Together with his friend Mickey (Mark Wahlberg), he sinks into a maelstrom of drugs, sex and crime that costs him first his school career and finally his home. Jim is on the brink. He can only really save himself... (1 Blu-ray)

Led by megastar Leonardo DiCaprio, Hollywood's 90s Brat Pack around Mark Wahlberg and Juliette Lewis shines in the sensational film adaptation of Jim Carroll's autobiographical novel. His "Basketball Diaries", directed by Scott Kalvert, became a harrowing document of a drug career in New York in the 70s. A film that must be mentioned in the same breath as "Christiane F." and "Requiem For A Dream".
