New York, New York

After many underwhelming films at the 2015 New York Film Festival, I finally struck gold with a new documentary on Robert Frank, a Swiss-born American photographer and filmmaker.

If like me you are fascinated by New York’s economic and cultural milieu in the 50s to 80s- ironically when New York was more chaotic and corrupt than it is now - you will like this film. Frank seemed to know everyone passing through the art and literary scene. The film is cut in a fast-paced, collage style with an excellent score using iconic music from across the decades.
