Summary:
The discreet legend of the New York scene, the composer, improviser and accompanist sought-after by the biggest international pop stars, Marc Ribot is one of the most inventive guitarists of his generation. Composed of excerpts from his concerts in New York's Lower East Side clubs and from his European tours, archival footage and conversations, the film explores the variety in the musical universes of this inspired virtuoso and generous committed artist. French Film maker Anais Prosaic's stunning documentary about Marc, New York City, The Downtown Scene, and the intermingling of the three, is compiled from extensive performance and conversational footage shot in 2002 as Marc travels from club to club and country to country.
