In the years before Ronald Reagan took office, Manhattan was in ruins. But true art has never come from comfort, and it was precisely those dire circumstances that inspired artists Iike Jim Jarmusch, Lizzy Borden, and Amos Poe to produce some of their best works. Taking their cues from punk rock and new wave music, these young maverick fiImmakers confronted viewers with a stark reality that stood in powerfuI contrast to the escapist product being churned out by HoIIywood. lnterviews with the aforementioned artists as well as Debbie Harry, Steve Buscemi, John Waters, John Lurie, Lydia Lunch, and Thurston Moore reveaI how a group of young visionaries pooled their resources to birth a film movement that produced some of the most chalIenging art of the 20th century. |
