Presented in a brand-new digital transfer Allan Moyle's cult feature of 1980 is a paean to teenage rebellion telling the story of two girls who meet in a New York psychiatric unit and bonding through a shared sense of alienation go on the run together in spectacular fashion! Volatile streetwise Nicky (Robin Johnson) is an aspiring rocker while Pamela (Trini Alvarado) is a timid isolated girl whose wealthy father is currently campaigning to clean up the city's famous square; Johnny DeGuardia (Tim Curry) is the sympathetic late-night DJ who promotes their newly... formed punk outfit 'The Sleez Sisters'. Times Square explores themes revisited in Moyles' Pump Up the Volume a decade later and allusions to lesbian love have ensured repeat screenings at LGBT film festivals worldwide. In addition to gloriously gritty scenes of early-'80s New York and pre-cleanup Times Square the film also boasts a now-legendary rock 'n' roll soundtrack featuring songs by The Ramones Lou Reed Roxy Music The Cure Talking Heads and others alongside specially composed numbers including XTC rarity Take This Town and Flowers of the City co-written by ex-New York Doll David Johansen.

Allan Moyle directs this cult 1980s tale of teenage rebellion on the streets of New York. Nicky (Robin Johnson), a punk rock wannabe with an attitude to match, and Pamela (Trini Alvarado), the lost and lonely child of a rich but distant father, meet in a New York mental institute. Despite the vast contrast in their personalities and upbringings, the two girls click and hatch a plan to escape. While on the run the pair duly indulge in punk rock excess, forming a band, The Sleez Sisters, and earning the attention of DJ Johnny DeGuardia (Tim Curry). With fame and a better life beckoning, can the girls stay true to themselves and each other?
