Another homo movie by Gregg Araki... screening from a newly restored, director-approved 2K scan.
Gay, alienated Los Angeles teens have a hard time as their parents kick them out of their homes, they don't have money, their lovers cheat, and they are harassed by gay-bashers. Shot on 16mm film without permits, with virtually no crew, director Gregg Araki operated the camera himself, accompanied by only a sound person and producer/PA, and the cast. Araki's breakthrough fourth feature, the first installment in his Teenage Apocalypse trilogy and a seminal entry into the New Queer Cinema canon, premiered at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival.
"A rag-tag story of f*g-and-d*ke teen underground... a kind of cross between avant-garde experimental cinema and a queer John Hughes flick."
