Gregg Araki (The Doom Generation) is certainly a film-making original, expressing teenage disillusionment through an otherwordly Los Angeles populated by surreal characters, trippy production design (the pop-art decor echoes each teen's inner psyche) and relentless, pounding music. Like a David Lynch flick with a sense of humour, Nowhere charts a day in the lives of the young, the restless and the really disturbed. The attractive cast is a who's who of teen talent, including Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Heather Graham (Boogie Nights) and Rose McGowan (Scream). Shockingly, though, the film's most memorable scene involves Jaason Simmons from Baywatch.

Delirious send-up of high-school movies Ð one character turns into a giant cockroach Ð with alienated teenagers indulging in polymorphous perversities.

Entertaining
Greg Araki (he of the excellent Mysterious Skin fame) directs what was described as Beverley Hills 90210 on acid and that's a fair description of what is an odd, disjointed but funny picture that focusses on the lives of several typically vacuous teenagers in Los Angeles. I'm not exactly sure what the film was about but the use of colour in the film was like totally rad and a few scenes had me rolling around a bit, specifically Jason Simmons as 'The Teen Idol'. A good effort.

This is not the case though, as the critically acclaimed dark drama Mysterious Skin is released on May 20th. The film, directed by Gregg Akari, was selected for the Sundance, Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, and tells the story of two boys seeking to discover themselves after very different upbringings. Akari is relatively unknown as a director, his... Read more
