Without You I'm Nothing is a 1990 film starring and written by comedian and singer
Sandra Bernhard, based on material from her award-winning one-woman show of the same name, which was produced by Terry Danuser. The film was shot on location in 1989 at The Coconut Grove in
The Ambassador Hotel.
Karole Armitage was the choreographer. It was released on VHS video cassette in 1990 and became a
cult classic, prompting it to be re-released (again on VHS) in 2000 as part of the "MGM Avant-Garde Cinema" collection. It was not a commercial success, but it was highly praised by critics for its caustic commentary on
American values and
celebrity culture. It was released on DVD on August 23, 2005.
