Sodom and Gomorrah, NY, 10036

About This Movie

So, 'Sodom and Gomorrah, NY, 10036' is quite the trip into the underbelly of 70s New York. It’s a raw, unfiltered look at the sex industry, really capturing the gritty vibe of 8th Avenue and 42nd Street back then. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, letting you soak in the atmosphere of an era that feels both distant and strangely familiar. You get a sense of the lives behind the scenes, the characters are real, and their stories unfold with an honesty that feels refreshing. It’s not just about the visuals but the social commentary woven through the lives of those who inhabit this world. Definitely distinctive in its approach.

This film has had a rather limited release history, making physical copies a bit of a rarity among collectors. Most known formats are VHS and a few elusive DVDs, with the latter being quite scarce. Interest has been growing lately among those who appreciate documentary filmmaking and the historical context of urban America in the 70s, so it’s worth keeping an eye out if you’re into that niche.
