THE GODS OF TIMES SQUARE
1998 (112:00)
The Gods of Times Square is about the plethora of religious zealots and
god-intoxicants that (daily) would gather there to preach against the "sins"
of secular life. The backdrop for their rants were the grind houses and porno
shops, the neon signs and towering super-models. Angry black Jews, for
their part, preach about a vengeful negroid jesus who dooms the white man
to slavery and punishment.....the work was shot from 1992-1998 as times square
was "Disneyfied" for the new millennium.
"... one of those rare documentaries that combines a cinematic eye
with a compelling and genuine narrative. This is what doc filmmaking is all
about." Scott Petersen, IndieWire
