Darren Aronofsky Is Re-creating the '90s East Village
Briefly

The false storefronts - along with heaps of old tires, chained-up bikes, beat-up Honda Civics, and trash marked "NOT TRASH" - serve as set decoration for Caught Stealing, a film that unfolds the criminal underbelly of 1990s New York City.
Ian Ullman expressed nostalgia by saying, "I wish it was real," reflecting on the reappearance of Benny's Burritos in its original location, albeit as a movie set.
The scene-setting for Marty Supreme, including a fake stone entryway amidst modern architecture, highlights the juxtaposition of past and present in urban environments.
Ellen Koenigsberg, noticing a vintage dress, noted it's "1960s," yet felt the anachronism added to the surreal experience created by the film sets.
