Ciao! Manhattan (John Palmer, David Weisman, 1972) [såhär skrev jag någon annanstans: "Truth and fiction blur in this film, haphazardly spliced together out of two (or possibly more) different projects involving Edie Sedgwick – one set in New York during her days there as a model and superstar at Warhol's Factory, the other in California a couple of years later. Shouldn't really work under any circumstances, but somehow it still does. Sedgwick bears the role of the tragic has-been with a certain grace and pride, and her sometimes endless and pointless anecdotes about her life – what coulda-shoulda-woulda been – together with an inventive visual style on account of the editors and a proto-electronica score, create an atmosphere that is wholly mesmerizing. Sedgwick died of an overdose a couple of weeks after she had finished shooting."]

Babylon (Franco Rosso, 1980) ["A fascinating slice of life in this time travel back to the immigrant (predominately Jamaican) London of the early 80s: original skins, booming sound systems, racism, crooked cops and small-time hoodlums. More a social commentary of the times than a ghetto tale, it features a gang of young rastas coping with parents, school and petty crime, with dreams about building the most impressive sound system in Brixton. Staying mostly away from clichés and never stooping down to expoitation, the film paints a rather bleak and unsentimental picture about the newly installed Thatcher's Britain. Music plays a huge part in the film, and the sound system clashes are all excellent. Watching it without subtitles (which the director refused to include) can be something of a struggle though."]
