Blank Generation
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Ulli Lommel
1980 / 79min / Digital
Fassbinder repertory troupe regular-cum-director Lommel crafts a star vehicle for L.E.S. “It Boy” Richard Hell (né Richard Meyers) in Blank Generation, which has Hell playing a sulky, scattered, professionally unprofessional and unmistakably Richard Hell-like artist/degenerate, negotiating his emotional entanglement with a French journalist and Godard epigone, played by Carole Bouquet, while simultaneously striving to submarine any chance he has for future financial success. A sterling time capsule of druggy downtown NYC teetering on the cusp of the Yuppie ’80s, featuring priceless footage of Hell and the Voidoids—including the late guitar god Robert Quine—at their lean, feral best.
