A young woman wanders Manhattan and meets a number of strange characters and settings that represent the 'underground' life in New York in the 1980's.

Somewhere between uptown and downtown, heaven and hell, dusk and dawn, lies... MONDO NEW YORK

'Home to outcasts, misfits, losers, perverts, lunatics, gangsters, pranksters, outlaws, neurotics, psychotics, maniacs, brainiacs, hippies, yippies, yuppies, junkies, flunkies, monkeys, all trying to claw their way to the top of trash heap, all screaming me, me, I want my fame my fortune, my lousy fifteen minutes, my, what the f*** whatever it is - You want it? We got it! It'sMONDO NEW YORK.'

Restored and remastered from a brand new 2K HD transfer from the original camera negative, 'Mondo New York' is a cult classic celebration and perversely compelling tribute to the mutant artists and anti-stars of the Naked City circa 1980's Berlin cabaret in all their glory including Joey Arias, Joe Coleman, Karen Finley, Phoebe Legere, Ann Magnuson, Lydia Lunch, Rick Aviles and Dean Johnson and more, in this unforgettable avant-garde time capsule of New York City that will leave you both shocked and enlightened.
