I fell in love with Amos Kollek after Queenie In Love, his films remind me of what American Independent cinema was before it descended into a genre consisting of romance films made by mainstream studios about 'quirky' people. Crazy Streets, with its offbeat characters, porno acting and bizarre narrative twists is a welcome break from standard narrative films, the dry, strange humour reminds me of Tom Robbins' novels or even the films of Aki Kurismaki. The cool of sleazy 80's New York is a perfect setting, Hanna Schygulla is magnificent and Debbie Harry doesn't try to do too much but look cool. I say it's well worth the experience.
