Blue Collar (1978)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 114m
Director: Paul Schrader
Cast: Harvey Keitel, Richard Pryor, Yaphet Kotto, Ed Begley Jnr

Synopsis:

Production line workers in Detroit grow increasingly disenchanted with their shopfloor representation, and as financial worries press upon them they conceive a plan first to rob, then to blackmail, the corrupt union (which is also under investigation by the FBI).

Review:

Schrader's first film as director is a serious job of social conscience with Seventies profanity thrown in. The characters convince and the milieu is well caught. Familiar directorial preoccupations such as the venality of the system and the question of conscience feature strongly.
