«TI found the idea of not looking at a gang in terms of a social problem interesting.” In fact, Walter Hill did it only for his own Warriors of the nightfilm from 1979, based on the novel by Sol Yurick, in turn inspired by theAnabasis of Xenophon, did not foresee a fate as misfits, but as true protagonists of the myth.
A scene from the movie “The Warriors”
From the Bronx to Coney Island and finally to Brooklyn, the young warriors in leather vests fight hunted down by enemy gangs: baseball players with make-up like Kiss, skaters in dungarees, the seductive Lizzies, the Rogues led by the psychopathic Luther.
If this isn’t a cult it looks a lot like it. The Warriors – The warriors of the night returns to theaters on 6 March, distributed by Il Cinema Ritrovato, a project by the Cineteca di Bologna.
