Manhattan Love Suicides watch online

The Manhattan Love Suicides is a 1985 American underground comedy film series written, produced and directed by Richard Kern. It consists of four short films: Stray Dogs, Woman at the Wheel, Thrust in Me, and I Hate You Now.

Shot in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the mid-1980s, a turbulent time when the HIV/AIDS epidemic was at its height, and poverty, crime, violence, prostitution and drug consumption were running rampant in New York City, Kern's anthology film is a part of the Cinema of Transgression movement (a term coined by Nick Zedd who also appears in the Woman at the Wheel and Thrust in Me segments). It was shot in Super 8mm film.

The UK-based rock band The Manhattan Love Suicides took its name from the film.
