Hi, Mom! Aspiring adult film-maker Jon Rubin (Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver) returns from a tour of Vietnam and, armed with his film camera, attempts to find meaning and inspiration in the counter-culture of New York in 1970. Rubin graduates from surreptitiously filming his neighbours, to joining a militant Black experimental theatre group, before flirting with full-scale domestic terrorism, in this hilariously madcap satire that has still retained its outrageous power to shock, fifty years after initially stunning American audiences. Making its world premiere on 4K UHD, Hi, Mom! is a vital work of the early New Hollywood, and a key work in the career of master director Brian De Palma. 4K UHD & BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES New 4K restoration from the original camera negative, presented in Dolby Vision HDR 4K UHD and Blu-ray presentation of the feature; world premiere on 4K UHD Uncompressed mono audio Audio commentary by writer Travis Woods (2026) Interview with critic Ellen E Jones (2026, 12 mins) Dionysus in ‘69 - an experimental theater production of Euripides' 'The Bacchae', filmed by Brian de Palma (1970, 85 mins, SD) Son of Greetings - behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Hi, Mom! by filmmaker Peter Davis, featuring candid images of the cast and crew (1970, 76 mins) Archival interview with co-writer Charles Hirsch (2018, 10 mins) Trailer Optional English SDH subtitle track Reversible sleeve featuring artwork based on original posters Limited edition booklet featuring new writing by Matt Zoller Seitz Limited edition of 5000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings Add four or more of our May releases (Hi Mom!, Aesthetics of a Bullet, Le professionnel, Jeanne la pucelle, Taxidermia) to cart to receive 10% off.
