The Foreigner is a 1978 American independent no wave film directed by Amos Poe starring Eric Mitchell with semi-improvised appearances by Patti Astor, Anya Phillips and Debbie Harry.
Its postmodern faux film noir style was influenced by the French New Wave films of Jean-Luc Godard (particularly Alphaville) and the low budget Underground films of Andy Warhol and Jack Smith and the ensemble casting of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and John Cassavetes.
It also was heavily influenced by No Wave DIY post-punk style of music and contains an onscreen appearance of The Cramps in a scene shot in CBGB's. This early version of The Cramps, billed in the film as The Erasers (not the actual No Wave band Erasers), perform a live version of the Iggy Pop/David Bowie song Funtime. Prior to that, Debbie Harry of Blondie sings a cappella a Kurt Weil song in the alley behind the Mudd Club. Ivan Král, of the Patti Smith Group, provided the ambient electro soundtrack.
