About this Event

You are invited to a double-feature of writer-director Gregg Araki's "Totally F----d Up" (1993) and "The Doom Generation" (1995) with actor James Duval in attendance!
THE DOOM GENERATION | 1995 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Gregg Araki | With: James Duval, Rose McGowan, Johnathon Schaech | RUNNING TIME: 1H 23M | RATING: R for strong vicious violence, graphic sexuality, pervasive strong language and some drug use | 4K DCP PROJECTION
The film follows two troubled teenage lovers, Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) and Jordan White (James Duval), who pick up a young handsome drifter named Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech). After Xavier accidentally kills a store clerk, the trio embarks on a journey full of sex, violence, and people from Amy’s past. A Road Murder Sex Comedy… like no other.
“A savagely funny ride fueled by Araki’s insight and blunt compassion.” - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Inspired by Godard’s classic 'Band Apart,' Araki’s fifth feature is his most audacious and most technically accomplished film to date.” - Emanuel Levy, Variety
TOTALLY F****D UP | 1993 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: GREGG ARAKI | WITH: James Duval, Roko Belic, Alan Boyce, Craig Gilmore | RUNNING TIME: 1H 18M | UNRATED Contains strong language, nudity, sexual situations, adult themes
In his fourth feature, "Totally F****d Up", provocative and talented independent filmmaker Gregg Araki delves into the troubled world of gay teenagers. Araki here addresses the disproportionately high suicide rate among gay teens.
Principal among six friends, two of them a solid good-humored lesbian couple (Susan Behshid, Jenee Gill), is the lonely Andy (James Duval), an appealing youth with a James Dean look and vulnerability, who doesn’t believe love exists – until he’s swept off his feet by the handsome, slightly older but vastly more experienced lan (Alan Boyce).
Meanwhile, Andy’s pals Steven (Gilbert Luna), an aspiring filmmaker, and his lover Deric (Lance May) soon experience a crisis in their relationship when Steven strays, trying to blame it on the fact that the new guy in his life just happened to have a bootleg Nine Inch Nails tape to tempt him with. Rounding out the group is easygoing skater dude Tommy (Roko Belic).
Araki effectively punctuates his story with quotes in the manner of one of his acknowledged idols, Jean- Luc Godard, and probing interviews with Steven, who’s always poking a camcorder in his friends’ faces.
