2.0 out of 5 starsArt is a strange hotel
By D. Hartley on May 3, 2010
Format: DVD
Since 1883, the Hotel Chelsea in New York City has been considered to be the center of the universe by bohemian culture vultures. It has been the hostelry of choice for the holiest of hipster saints over the years, housing just about anybody who was anybody in the upper echelons of poets, writers, playwrights, artists, actors, directors, musicians and free thinkers over the past century. Some checked in whenever they were in town, and some lived as residents for years on end. Some checked out forever within its walls (most notably Dylan Thomas and Sid Vicous' ill-fated girlfriend, Nancy Spungen). Of course, not every single resident was a luminary, but chances always were that they were someone who had a story or two to tell. Abel Ferrara, a director who has been known to spin a sordid New York tale or two ("China Girl", "Bad Lieutenant", "King of New York", "The Funeral") has attempted to paint a portrait of the hotel with his new documentary, "Chelsea on the Rocks"-with mixed results.

Blending interviews with current residents with archival footage and docu-drama vignettes, Ferrara tackles this potentially intriguing subject matter in frustrating fits and starts. He never decides whether he wants to offer up a contextualized history, an impressionistic study, or simply a series of "So tell me your favorite Chelsea anecdote" stories (ranging from genuinely funny or harrowing to banal and/or incomprehensible).

The most fascinating parts of the film to me were the relatively brief bits of archival footage.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsChelsea Hell See.
By Frank M. Gentile on January 28, 2013
Format: Amazon Video
Oh..I really really HATED this movie. I LOVE the Chesea Hotel, and have been there many times. I LOVE Janis Joplin. I LOVE R.Crumb. I love all things Warhol. I love the history of Dylans Thomas and Bob. But what I HATE HATE HATE are the dreaded "recreation" scenes that those who brought about this film inexplicably decided to employ. Unless you're recreating a battle scene with 1000 nameless faceless extras, or you're Merly Streep, recreation scenes NEVER work. The main reason for this is that they ALWAYS get the famous person they're recreating WRONG..so wrong that anyone with a glimmer of knowledge or history about whover it is they are recreating can only burst out laughing, when they're not just being insulted. The film would have maybe been just fine without these horrendous lapses in judgement. Also., .there is NOTHING worse than a talentless person who thinks they are an "artist." Art is subjective you say??, open to varied interpretation? Yes, that is true. But lack of talent is NOT subjective..it is glaringly, blazingly apparent, as evidenced by a thousand screeching monsters bellowing into microphones, assaulting their victims at clubs and street corners and cafes and bus stations across the country. At big town and small town "art" shows that feature unending, hideous wastes of canvas, paint, wood, metal, or any number of materials and supplies. Mix this with a person who is intentionally "eccentric", a "character", with their bangles, beads, piercings, tattoos, braids, whirling skirts, multi-colored hair, unmastered instruments, brain dead rap, bad poetry, and "intensity", ..all screaming.."LOOK AT ME!..NOTICE ME!!"...and you are in HELL. Watching this movie, I was. It's enough to make me want to spend my next vacation in Branson, Mo.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA fresh look inside a New York icon
By Pauline Kael-Jones on October 26, 2010
Format: DVD
If pop culture in the 1970's and 1980's had a ground-zero, it would have been New York's notorious Chelsea Hotel, as gloriously presented in Abel Ferrara's brilliant new documentary. Utilizing archival footage of legendary residents -- from Andy Warhol to Sid Vicious -- and clever reenactments and flashbacks, "Chelsea On The Rocks" transcends the mold of mainstream documentaries and breaks fresh new ground that is both exhilarating and a bit frightening. Definitely worth owning!

5.0 out of 5 starsHighly unusual and appropriately notable
By Lorena Jones on October 14, 2010
Format: DVD
Loved the mix of archival footage with re-enactments and interviews to paint a colorful portrait of a ground-zero in the world of Bohemian artists and rebels. My only complaint is the absence of identifying captions on some interviewees (ie., who they are and what is their claim-to-fame?). Otherwise, it's a documentary adventure that's enlightening and very entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 starstime capsule of the cheslea hotel
By lisamarie22 on October 24, 2010
Format: DVD
The film is a collage of the Chelsea hotel-- its history, residents, ghosts. Felt like I was there rather than being told what it was like at the Chelsea.

3.0 out of 5 starsChelsea On The Rocks
By Cate P on July 10, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Was excited to watch this movie after having met one if the participants (hotel residents) during a trip to NYC and the hotel itself. The operations of the hotel (manager) was sympathetic towards the residents, given the nature of an artist's income ... An interesting model to use but has probably lead to the current state of disrepair of the hotel.

I found the director's off camera banter with those on camera rather annoying and it took away from whatever story the resident was referencing. And who are these people? Other than during the credit role, we have no idea of their names. And how long have they lived there? I felt more detail on the interviewees would benefit the viewer immensely. One of the highlights was a discussion with Sid, the former manager of the hotel.

Glad to have watched it but feel the filming and overall production was 'by the seat of the Director's pants' , a bit disjointed. The old footage was nice to see but again, felt not always edited well into a very loose, disjointed storyline.
