The film leaves a trace of bitterness, a feeling of badly digested drunkenness. The faces tell stories of loneliness. It is a documentary made fiction and a fiction made documentary. "Bowery is the saddest street in New York". It is a compelling portrait of alcoholism, the failure of the human being. There is no trace of that filming done secretly in the bars. It is the greatness of a director committed to reality.
