Two girls run away from a mental institution and forge a relationship on the streets of New York. They soon link up with disc jockey Johnny LaGuardia (Tim Curry) and form an underground punk rock band - The Sleez Sisters - who become a hit with the city's disillusioned youth after broadcasting their volatile songs and speeches on LaGuardia's radio station. Will the Sleez Girls be torn apart? Or will they tear themselves apart? One of the first teen movies to feature predominantly punk and New Wave music, TIMES SQUARE captures the essence of post-70s New York decay, immortalizing the famous porn district that has since been transformed into a characterless mega-mall. Featuring music by Gary Numan, Roxy Music, The Ruts, Patti Smith, Ramones, Talking Heads, and more.
David, high on life
