Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In ’90s Los Angeles, a group of queer, disaffected teenagers form a kind of makeshift family as they navigate love, rejection, and identity. Through a series of fragmented episodes, they confront the harsh realities of adolescence in a world that refuses to accept them.
Edgy and raw with emotion, Gregg Araki’s fragmented portrait of queer teens in 1990s California captures their ennui with the lo-fi fuzz of color video. Numbing pangs of existential angst and loneliness with alternative music, hot sex, and sharp wit, these disenchanted kids rebel with good cause.
