The
Living End -
Poetic, fast-paced, new-wave and very 90's, "The Living
End" could quite possibly be the best American film on the
subject of AIDS ever made.
Totally
Fucked Up -
All the shit that comes with being a gay teenager, Gregg
Araki puts in "Totally Fucked Up." Fagbashing, parents,
bad relationships, nihilism, degradation, bad sex, masturbation,
AIDS, fatalism, depression, angst, boredom... you name it,
it's here.
The
Doom Generation -
Quintessential embodiment of teen angst captured on celluloid
in full living color. It is a film about life in America
circa 1995. It's is full of honesty, emotion, anger and
eroticism.
Nowhere
-
Is a saddening dirge for the loss of innocence in American
life. Sexual liberation, rampant drug use, fast cars, alcohol,
food, possessions... none of these are able to satisfy the
deep craving in our collective soul.
Splendor
-
Gregg
Araki's first film after his "teen angst trilogy" is a watered
down and highly accessible Araki film. But I think I mean
that in a good way. "Splendor" just might be the best date
movie of 1999. Maybe not for the FIRST date... but after
you have gotten to know each other and things are getting
a bit too stale.
