Ciao! Manhattan
Speed. Madness. Flying Saucers.
Directed by John Palmer, David Weisman
Produced by Court Pictures, Maron Films
A hallucinatory, semi-autobiographical descent into drug addiction and celebrity dissolution, blending documentary realism with surreal, fragmented storytelling.
Fiction and documentary mingle in a freewheeling portrait of Susan Superstar, a New York celebrity on a drug-fueled downward slide that mirrors Edie Sedgwick’s own self-destructive spiral.
