Synopsis
Totally F***ed Up (1994) is Gregg Araki's independent drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It opens his loose "Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy."
Six gay and lesbian teenagers in Los Angeles stick together because there is no one else to lean on. Parents are absent or have thrown them out, money is always short, lovers cheat, and gay-bashers wait on the street. At the center is withdrawn Andy (James Duval), who films his friends on a camcorder and can't quite believe anyone could love him. Araki assembles the movie out of fragments — talking-head interviews, title cards, aimless chatter, the AIDS years humming underneath.
Shot on next to no budget in a raw home-video style, the film helped kick off the New Queer Cinema of the early nineties. This is no cozy coming-of-age tale; it is a jagged, angry, sometimes very funny portrait of kids who feel disposable. Stream Totally F***ed Up (1994) online on iFILM.
