Notable Quotes

❝ Del Byzan... who? Objection sustained without reservations: of this quintet, a meteoric presence in alternative N.York in the distant '82, there is indeed scant trace, only unearthed by digging through some period magazines.

❝ The other life of Jim Jarmusch... The Del-Byzanteens, a brilliant project of the filmmaker before he devoted himself to cinema.
