Attention all bohemian New Yorkers! A new documentary about the iconic Kim’s Video is hitting theaters, and it’s a wild ride from start to finish.
“Kim’s Video,” co-directed by David Redmon and Ashley Sabin, takes viewers on a journey through the history of the beloved downtown rental outlet and hangout spot that closed its doors in 2014. But this film is more than just a retail history lesson – it’s a shaggy dog story that will keep you entertained from beginning to end.
The documentary starts with a seemingly contrived setup on St. Mark’s Place, where a passerby is asked for directions to Kim’s Video. From there, Redmon’s autobiographical musings take center stage, adding a personal touch to the narrative.
As the story unfolds, viewers are taken on a wild ride as Redmon becomes obsessed with rescuing a stranded video collection that was meant to be housed in Italy. What follows is a chaotic web of corruption and incompetence that turns the documentary into a heist movie of sorts.
Narrated by Redmon himself, the film is a must-see for anyone who loves a good cult classic. So grab your popcorn and get ready for a wild ride with “Kim’s Video” in theaters now.
