Sidewalk Stories

In this witty, Chaplinesque comedy-drama, Lane stars as a homeless Manhattan street artist who winds up taking care of a toddler after her father is murdered. Shot in black and white with no dialogue but a brilliantly evocative soundtrack, the film has been cited by Michel Hazanavicius as a key inspiration for his Oscar-winning film The Artist. Recently given a sparkling digital restoration, it's a charming and subtly challenging look at life on the breadline in late 80s NYC.
