Blank City (2010)

  
Format:  Blank City DVD 
 
 
The Manhattan of the 1970s was hardly the glitzy tourist destination of today, but from off its beleaguered streets came two generations of do-it-yourself filmmakers. This lively documentary chronicles the rise and evolution of such gritty, New York-based "No Wave" and "Cinema of Transgression" auteurs as Amos Poe, Lizzie Borden, Jim Jarmusch, Nick Zedd, and others, with comments from Steve Buscemi, Debbie Harry, Lydia Lunch, John Waters, and more. 95 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
