On the Bowery is Rogosin's legendary early Oscar nominated independent documentary chronicling three days on New York's skid row, shot on location in downtown streets, and now in a new 35mm restoration.Ray enters the Confidence Bar & Grill where he meets Gorman, an older man who likes to tell stories of his more successful bygone days.Ray falls in with Gorman and his band of drunks who help him spend all his money on muscatel.Both wanting more, Gorman suggests that Ray sells some of his possessions.Going through Ray's suitcase, Gorman finds some clothes that they can sell at the thieves' market.He also spots a watch in the suitcase, but Ray quickly takes it back saying that it won't be sold.With the extra money, the pair go back to the bar.Surrounded by fellow drinkers in advanced states of alcoholic decay, Ray buys them rounds of drinks.Dead drunk, he stumbles out to the street and blacks out. Gorman helps himself to Ray's suitcase.Here begins Ray's decent and his hopes to escape the Bowery one day."A milestone in American cinema On the Bowery is very special to me Rogosin's film is so true to my memories of that place and that time. He accomplished his goal, of portraying the lives of the people who wound up on the Bowery, as simply and honestly and compassionately as possible. It's a rare achievement." -Martin Scorsese
