“One city. Three stories tall.”

ComedyDramaRomance

Three tales of love, ambition, and neurosis unfold in the city that never sleeps. In "Life Lessons" (Martin Scorsese), a tormented painter channels heartbreak into his art. In "Life Without Zoë" (Francis Ford Coppola), a precocious 12-year-old navigates privilege and loneliness in a Manhattan hotel. And in "Oedipus Wrecks" (Woody Allen), a man’s domineering mother literally becomes a looming presence over New York.

VIBE

A triptych of New York City vignettes, each segment offers a distinct flavor of urban ennui and artistic aspiration. It’s a film that feels like eavesdropping on the city's most interesting, and sometimes strangest, inhabitants.
