That film came across more experimental than documentary to me. I'm fairly certain it was shot on 16mm, probably a student film--maybe NYU or Columbia student--came off a bit schizophrenic as a story. I'd say it was more-or-less a core sample of night life in a particular place and time.
The arcade had an incredible mix of games--Ice Cold Beer, Mr. Do!, Dragon's Lair, Duck Hunt, etc. I love to see that kind of variety together.
The V.O. in the arcade sounded like Mike Tyson, who was awesome to watch BTW, BITD.
