101 Films presents Abel Ferrara's iconic neo-noir Bad Lieutenant (1992), released on 4K UHD in the UK for the first time.

Driven by a career best performance by the legendary Harvey Keitel as the titular Lieutenant, Abel Ferrara's unfiltered tale of self-destruction, guilt, forgiveness and redemption shocked audiences and critics alike with its uncompromising depiction of crime in New York's seedy underbelly. In a career full of provocative filmmaking, the notorious Bad Lieutenant stands alone as Ferrara's most incendiary and certainly his finest piece of work.

For twenty years, he has ruled the streets-gambling, stealing, using, killing. A corrupt, drug-addicted New York City cop spirals deeper into vice while investigating the brutal assault of a young nun. As the case forces him to confront his own sins, he walks the line of self-destruction and the elusive promise of redemption.

Bad Lieutenant is released on dual-format 4K UHD and Blu-ray 18th August 2025 from 101 Films.
