The View from Avenue A (1985)
Plot
Shot in NYC in 1984 and commissioned as a portrait of the Dutch expatriate artist Anton van Dalen The View From Avenue A is also and more interestingly and profoundly a portrait of another disappearing place in this case the dying or revivifying depending on your point of view lower east side of Nest York Deutsch brilliantly charts a history of a lost place here not just a physical land scape but a landscape of the mind that is the artistic bohemia of the 60s and 70e changing soon to be completely gone crushed inexorably by history Steven Simmons
