Michael Ritchie’s films explore the themes of competition and its corrosive effects, positioning him alongside other notable New Hollywood auteurs from the 1970s.
Ritchie's work captures an America in decline, reflecting a societal losing streak surrounding events like Vietnam and Watergate through humorous yet incisive satire.
The release of a new 4K UHD edition of 'Prime Cut' invites reevaluation of Ritchie's genre-defying approach amidst his character-driven narratives.
Despite initial poor reception, films like 'Prime Cut' play an essential role in understanding Ritchie's unique voice, contrasting with mainstream expectations of the time.
