Arakme

Why is there never a Gregg Araki film shown on sunday night? Or any night for that matter The Living End would be my choice for this week.

Luke is a gay hustler. Jon is a movie critic. Both are HIV positive. They go on a hedonistic, dangerous journey, their motto "Fuck the world". “The living end” was the explosive debut of young gay director Gregg Araki, and was a centerpiece of the New Queer Cinema of the 1990’ies. “ The Living End” has been described as a homo Thelma & Louise , which is true enough - but it's also far more than that. The film takes the issues and energy of gay youth in the early 1990’s and turns them into a mad, anarchic and unsettlingly powerful experience. Araki has said of this road movie: "It's like a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby movie . . . in which Crosby fucks Hope”. source
