85 min,
Dir: Jonathan Nossiter
This hilarious film chronicles the adventures of cult figure Quentin Crisp, a flamboyant and eccentric Brit, in his madcap dash across the margins of downtown Manhattan in the pursuit of fame during the last days of bohemian New York City. A modern day Oscar Wilde, Quentin Crisp is the unbelievably witty and charming star of this intelligent and unconventional film. Learn more about this fascinating figure that not only influenced a generation but also a Sting song. With Crisp now deceased, Resident Alien stands as a living testimony to one man's singular gift to the world - himself.
