Blank Generation

by Ivan Kral, Amos Poe

An important visual testimony of the New York new wave/punk scene of the 70s'. The film captures the concerts of the main characters - Tom Verlaine, David Byrne, Blodie - while they lay the foundations of punk rock. Particularly significant is Patti Smith's performance. Wild, tough and revolutionary, like the music she plays.
