Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
THE WANDERERS
Synopsis
Tully High School seniors Richie, Joey and Perry run with a gang called The Wanderers in the Bronx. The year is 1963 but their experiences are universal: falling in love, surviving in school and defending their turf against rivals like the Fordham Baldies, the Del Bombers and the Ducky Boys.

Our take
Released the same year as The Warriors, Philip Kaufman’s film did not receive the same level of cult infamy yet is as imaginative in its youthful vision of New York’s underworld. Filled to the brim with 1950s rock ‘n’ roll hits, The Wanderers is a wormhole to the Bronx, circa 1963.
