New York Doll

Product Description ARTHUR 'KILLER' KANE OF THE BAND THE NEW YORK DOLLS, ROCKETS TO THE TOP OF THE GLAM ROCK SCENE. BUT WHEN THE GROUP BREAKS UP HE DISAPPEARS FROM MUSIC & BECOMES A MORMON. NOW, YEARS LATER, ARTHUR IS OFFERED A 2ND CHANCE TO RELIVE A LIFE HE THOUGHT WAS LOST FOREVER & FULFILL A LIFETIME OF UNFINISHED DREAMS. Tienda For a look at a "Killer," New York Doll is a surprisingly tender portrait. But then Arthur "Killer" Kane, bass player for the New York Dolls, was a gentle soul at heart. In his feature film debut, director Greg Whiteley ably explores the dichotomy between the stone-faced rocker with the "killer" bass lines and the mild-mannered librarian at LA's Mormon Family History Center. Kane never had much of a home life, but he loved rock and roll, and found a second family with the Dolls. It was, to say the least, a dysfunctional one. Fame came fast, but money didn't follow, and the band imploded "because of our bad behavior." Kane struggled with alcohol and other problems before finding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1980s. He turned his life around, but refused to let go of the past. He wanted to get the band back together. Jerry Nolan and Johnny Thunders died in the 1990s, but Kane’s dream didn’t. "For 30 years I was ignored and told that I was a loser," he states. Whiteley doesn't preach or condescend, but allows Kane to tell his own story, bolstered by comments from friends and associates. As Morrissey, who kick-started the group’s 2004 London reunion, explains, "For everybody there's an artist that captures you at just the right time... The Dolls were that for me." Featuring David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain, Iggy Pop, Chrissie Hynde, and Mick Jones, New York Doll was nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury Prize. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
