Directed by Alex Ross Perry • 2025 • United States

Cultural hub, consumer mecca, and source of existential dread: the video-rental store forever changed the way we interact with movies. With narration by Maya Hawke and footage culled from hundreds of sources—from TV commercials to blockbuster films—this sprawling, engrossing, and witty pop-culture deep dive from director Alex Ross Perry (PAVEMENTS, HER SMELL) tells the story of the video store’s glorious, confusing, novel, sometimes seedy, and undeniably seismic impact on American movie culture.
