Vidiots is f***ing pumped to welcome filmmaker Gregg Araki and actors James Duval and Nathan Bexton for a screening of three of the most transgressive films to come out of the 1990s – The Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, continuing with a double feature of Nowhere and Totally F***ed Up.
Nowhere (1997, 83 min)
Like a fever dream of 90s youth to the extremes, this hallucinatory orgy of sex, drugs, and aliens is the perfect apocalyptic ending to the trilogy. Glittering with style, brimming with angst, and burning with pansexual lust, this is a Los Angeles movie like no other. It’s the last day on Earth and these disaffected LA teens just want to party! Featuring a who’s who of young 90s talent like Christina Applegate, Ryan Philippe, Guillermo Diaz, Kathleen Robertson, and Rachel True and the shoegaze soundtrack of your dreams, it’s very much a product of its time, but still so fresh!
Totally F***ed Up (1993, 79 min)
The first film of the trilogy is a raw and nihilistic treasure of the Queer New Wave Cinema movement. Shot on both 16mm film and video and loosely based on Godard’s Masculin féminin, this hip and expressive film is broken into 15 segments of the lives of a chosen family comprised of a band of queer youth. Stradling societal and familial rejection with a desire for self-expression and love, it’s the teen movie for all the queerdos unrepresented by Hollywood at the time.
