Chelsea on the Rocks

2008 · 88 min Documentary
5.6 / 10 · TMDB

Chelsea on the Rocks celebrates the personalities and artistic voices that have emerged from New York’s legendary Chelsea Hotel. Once considered an untouchable, impenetrable tower for writers, artists, musicians and mavericks, it has been recently claimed as a boutique hotel venture for a management company that shows disregard for its formidable history. –Cannes Film Festival

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a portrait of a place as a living organism, relying on archival footage, interviews, and vérité observation of its final holdouts. It explores the fragile line between myth and reality, creative chaos and commercial order.

What lingers after viewing is a melancholic sense of a vanishing world, where the walls whisper and the future relentlessly gentrifies the ghosts. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Abel Ferrara
