Chelsea Walls ★★ 2001 (R)

Hawke's directorial debut features wife Thurman as one of the would-be artists living at the legendary (and seedy) Chelsea Hotel. There's a variety of struggling writers, musicians, and artists who all have romantic dilemmas and substance abuse problems as well. Lots of chatter and atmosphere but the characters are all walking cliches. 108m/C VHS, DVD . US Kris Kristofferson, Uma Thurman, Vincent D'Onofrio, Natasha Richardson, Tuesday Weld, Rosario Dawson, Mark Webber, Kevin Corrigan, Robert Sean Leonard, Steve Zahn, Frank Whaley; D: Ethan Hawke; W: Nicole Burdette; C: Tom Richmond; M: Jeff Tweedy.
