Watching Limelight, about the rise and politically engineered fall of onetime Manhattan nightclub kingpin Peter Gatien, is like looking through a family album: If you're in the family, you might be interested.

If all you know about Peter Gatien going in to Limelight is that he is a nightclub owner with legal issues, that's about all you'll know coming out.
Given all this interesting raw material, it's mildly disappointing that the filmmakers tie it together with such cheesy connective tissue.
As a trippy, trifling memorial to a time before its eponymous club was a mini-mall and rave culture a woozy memory, Limelight delivers the messed-up goods.

Fantastic! by LaRosa I loved it.
Such an interesting story by patricknewton Anyone interested in NYC night life in the late 80's early 90's will like this. Anyone interested in the story of Michael Alig will like it. Also check out the shockumentary called party monster (same name as the film made with Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green.
