Unmade Beds is a 1976 American independent No Wave film directed by Amos Poe starring Duncan Hannah, Eric Mitchell, Patti Astor, and Debbie Harry.[1]

The film was shot guerilla style on the streets of New York City on a shoestring budget with a small cast and crew. It was heavily influenced by the films of the French New Wave, particularly Breathless.[2]

Plot

Rico (played by artist Duncan Hannah) is a photographer in New York City, although he behaves as if he thinks he is living in Paris. He fancies himself a gangster. His camera is his gun, which he loads with bullets of film. He has several encounters with various women. He also owes a large sum of money to some criminal associates, who eventually have him shot in the street.
