Two legends unite in PRETEND IT’S A CITY, a new documentary series about a true original New Yorker and her opinions on everything. Arriving January 8 on Netflix pic.twitter.com/Y954WJf9D3
The official synopsis for the documentary reads as, “A New Yorker to the core, Lebowitz has raised straight talk to an art form, packaging her no-nonsense observations about the city and its denizens into a punchy running commentary, one that spares nobody. Shaping Lebowitz’s thoughts into the furiously funny guidebook every New Yorker has at one point wished for, “Pretend It’s a City” checks in with a classic urban voice on subjects ranging from tourists, money, subways, and the arts to the not-so-simple act of walking in Times Square.” Scorsese had previously directed documentaries on Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Elia Kazan, and the Rolling Stones. Meanwhile, his next feature, Killers of the Flower Moon , which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, is slated to premiere on Apple TV+ . Pretend It’s A City is set to begin streaming on Netflix on 8 January.
