Arena (1975)

Tales of Rock'n'Roll (3): Walk On The Wild Side (1993x20)

Yayınlanma tarihi: May 01, 1993

Continuing the Arena series with the true story behind Lou Reed's classic rock song that celebrated transvestism. All the characters named in the song were real people who frequented Andy Warhol's studio in the late 60s. 'Walk on the Wild Side' is a description of the bizarre and sometimes sordid world inhabited by Warhol's "superstars". Of those named in the song, only "Holly" Woodlawn and "Little Joe" Dallesandro have survived to tell the tale, and both are interviewed in the film. An examination of a significant chapter in New York's underground culture, it also includes unseen archive footage of Max's Kansas City, the notorious club made popular by Warhol in the late 60s.
