Kids (1995)
by Larry Clark
starring Leo Fitzpatrick, Justin Pierce, Chloë Sevigny
Genre: Drama

A provocative and profoundly shocking portrait of the generation Y. In fact, it is not really a movie that tells a story or has a conventional plot. It just describes one day in the life of these adolescents. The acting is all in all superb, especially Justin Pierce who portrays Casper, the most realistic and interesting of the film’s characters. Apart from this, I also think that such a naturalistic work is an impressive manifesto for cinema’s progress over the years. So, if you want something light and peaceful, you are definitely wrong here. This is challenging, sombre and disturbing.
