The story takes place in the historic Chelsea Hotel in New York City.

Chelsea Walls received negative reviews, currently holding arating on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert gave the film three stars out of four, claiming Movies like this do not grab you by the throat. You have to be receptive. The first time I saw Chelsea Walls, in a stuffy room late at night at Cannes 2001, I found it slow and pointless. This time, I saw it earlier in the day, fueled by coffee, and I understood that the movie is not about what the characters do, but about what they are. It may be a waste of time to spend your life drinking, fornicating, posing as a genius and living off your friends, but if youve got the money, honey, take off the time.
