Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Araki's previous film, The Doom Generation (1994), never got a release in Britain. A lurid orgy of sex and violence, it was genuinely provocative, shocking and erotic, and it would have been sport watching the censor trying to grapple with it. Nowhere does have a UK distributor, but it's a piece of shit. Teen nihilism of the cheapest kind, it's as pretentious as Jean-Luc Godard, as tacky as one of those Z grade turkeys by Ted V Miklas, and at least twice as boring as that sounds. The hero (Duval) is a confused bisexual called 'Dark'. Araki persuaded a bunch of hot young actors to appear around him - True, Caan, Applegate, Mastroianni, Doherty, McGowan, an Alien Bodysuit - but he forgot to give them anything to do or say.Author: TCh

- Posted on Apr 02 2010 14:33 Araki fills the screen with gorgeous faces and bodies posing before canvases and posters and nodding to late 60s Godard. The "plot", if it can be called that, concerns getting to a party and space aliens, but don't expect something as breezy as Repo Man. The spoiled, bored character wander in search of something to do or feel. Sadly their boredom might become your own.
