In Detail

This fascinating documentary accompanies the hotel’s handful of holdouts as they live amidst the noise and chaos of construction, as the iconic countercultural residence – immortalised by Warhol’s Chelsea Girls,

Dylan Thomas, William Burroughs, Patti Smith and more – has its storied interior gutted to make way for a very different clientele. Merging rich 16mm with historic archival fragments, and, guided by a charismatic octogenarian choreographer, amongst its final tenants, an ode to the Chelsea, the people who make places, and the onward march of urban change.

A ghost story haunted by fame and celebrity.
