DIRTY OLD TOWN
Director: Jenner Furst, Daniel B. Levin Theatrical release: December 7, 2011The Bowery becomes a nexus of shattered dreams when a merchant has 72 hours to pay his rent. Facing extinction, his ramshackle tent of antiquities lures a troop of misfits, freaks and renegades who form a tableaux full of carnival pageantry, white lies and victimless crime in a fleeting glimpse of Downtown New York.
The film drips with sweaty ambiance and guerrilla-style energy... boasts plenty of rough charm.Andrew Barker, Variety
When the lens is focused on the lead's spectral eyes, the film grabs hold of something sweet and sad.Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
