Blitzed!
Hit the dancefloor with the Blitz Kids! Boy George, Marilyn, Princess Julia, Gary Kemp, and more recount the rise of the legendary London nightclub that launched the New Romantic movement.
Inspired by the glam stylings of David Bowie and the can-do ethos of punk, in the late 1970s a ragtag group of working class teenagers and art students in bleak post-war London formed their own vibrant, inclusive community centred around Tuesday nights at the Blitz club in Soho. A parade of fabulous interviewees bring to life the music, the fashion, the friendships and the rivalries in this warm, nostalgic, and sometimes catty documentary.
