- New York City. The Mid 70s. Music and its creative intentions were changing in a way that revolutionized the industry. Underground clubs, particularly CBGBs, played host to a dynamic range of sounds, but one thing remained constant: originality.

Movie Review: the real thing
Summary: 5 Stars
This two-fer is a valuable video scrapbook for anyone who was there or wishes they were. "Blank Generation" was the original NY punk scene' s own low-tech home movie, made by Amos Poe and Ivan Kral with the same do-it-yourself-with-what-you-got ethos as the music by the bands it depicts. Yeah, it's raw and rough asynchronous stuff. Not a slick after-the-fact documentary, but an authentic artifact of its time and place."Dancing Barefoot", is a mid-90s documentary of Ivan Kral's rock and roll journey from Prague to Patti Smith Group and back. (After Patti, Ivan would go on to work with John Cale, Iggy Pop, and others.) Includes lots of excellent live footage, bearing out Tina' Weymouth's on-camera observation about Patti's unmatched charisma. There are also interviews with Patti and the rest of the band; as well as Deborah Harry, Chris Stein, David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, Johnny Ramone, John Cale, Iggy Pop, Hilly Krystal and others. Originally shot for Czech TV, this is a great companion piece to "Blank Generation" (brief excerpts of which are seen here as well).
