Totally F***ed UpFrom
Gregg ArakiLife really sucks for a group of gay and Lesbian teanagers living in LA. Their parents kicked them out, they are broke and bored, their lovers cheat on them and they are arassed by fag bashers, These kids are totally fucked up
What I really like with
Gregg Araki movies is his way to be right in your face. Take it, like it or never watch one of his movies again. They are very few directors who are daring enough to show youth with this point of view. Only Larry Clark comes to mind. Although I enjoy Larry Clark's work much more, I also like
Gregg Araki, I liked his other movies especially
Nowhere and
The Doom Generation, these 2 are really lots of fun and crazy!
Unfortunatly I liked this one less, the thema is interesting and it is showed in an honest way but the characters are a bit dum sometimes and the story very predictable
- Spoiler:
from start we can guess one of them will commit suicide and we also can guess who it will be
It has this little crazyness touch and some moments are fun, but less ironic than his other movies
With a similar themas and to stay in the drama genre , I think his movie
Mysterious Skin is much more powerfull!
6.5/10
Anyone seen his last movie
Smiley Face ?
