Chelsea on the Rocks
2009, R, 88 min. Directed by Abel Ferrara.
Not reviewed at press time. Ever wily and spry, quintessential New Yorker Ferrara makes his first documentary about the city's legendary Chelsea Hotel, home to more starving, puking, insolvent, and genius artists than you can shake an eviction notice at. It was not screened for local press.
