A noir-ish tone and Yiddish-inflected narration from Ben Katchor define THE PLEASURES OF URBAN DECAY, an offbeat film leading viewers on a tour of New York's old skyscrapers, neglected warehouses, lay-away stores, and all-night cafeterias. Katchor, the brains behind the comic strip "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer," brings his protagonist along on the urban adventure, uncovering the symbolism and romance of seemingly mundane and often decrepit things like the city's cellar doors, TV antennae, and water towers.
