      Tramps!

      2022 1h 44m Documentary List
      100% 7 Reviews Tomatometer TRAMPS! is a feature-length documentary focusing on the iconic fashion and musical movement The New Romantics AKA "Blitz Kids" from London, England. Centering around key members of this movement, the film recounts the tale of how this group of outsiders helped reinvent London's infamous underground art community, gaining them worldwide notoriety. From the original squatted communes like "The Exploding Galaxy" in the 1960's, to the pre-punk art movement and confrontational performance work in squatted industrial spaces in the 1970s', the short-lived punk movement from 1977 to 1979, up to the flamboyant "Blitz Kids" that established the more well known moniker of the "New Romantics" in the 1980's, we look at how this long-established sense of hedonism was unexpectedly stomped out by the AIDS crisis, while certain elements of it flooded out from the underground and completely took over mainstream through rave culture in the 1990's and points towards the exasperated London of today.

      Cath Clarke Guardian In hindsight there’s something quaint, endearing even, about the New Romantics mentality. Rated: 3/5 Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org Fiercely political, Tramps! is a radical defence of art in the purest sense and stands proudly as a lens through which to frame a desperately needed contemporary reassessment of current attitudes towards the relationship between art and commerce. Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International [A] thrilling, far-reaching kaleidoscopic collage of a documentary... Mar 28, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The film traces events with unusual intimacy, revealing intriguing queer sensibilities that are almost mainstream today. Rated: 4/5 Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh TheArtsStl The New Romantic scene was queer in the inclusive sense of rejecting societal norms and generally being subversive of institutions and their values. Of course, many were also queer in the more specific meaning of the term... Rated: 7/10 Dec 8, 2022 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film What could have been just another exercise in nostalgia instead emerges as a valuable picture of a grassroots creative movement.
