Okay, I saw this yesterday and it was really good. Some many troubled people in it, they were all fucked in one way or another. Very explicit sexscenes, actually XXX stuff.

Anybody seen it? Care to comment on the portrait it paints of american youth?

Its too twisted and explicit for that, my guess is maybe indenpendent/underground cinemas or straight to DVD.

At the moment the annual NatFilm Festival (Nightfilm Festival), www.natfilm.dk is running and Ken ParK was screened. Its not gonna get a proper release, its far too explicit and controversial.

I respect Larry Clark as a photographer, real dope...i've only seen 'kids' from his films and i didnt like it at all...he seemed to corny on how he deals with youth in general....maybe the fact that he's a dope photographer pushes him to make so flashy and illusrtation points...the worse enemy of good is better.

great film. i saw it last spring in Vienna, I dont know what the original release was for the States but judging by the content it most likely went straight to DVD and never saw the movie house.

...

As far as judging American culture, it pretty much beats it into you with the extremity of it all. Each character representing the most fucked situations and how they all play off of each other and there seems to be little hope in the end that the cycle they are in will ever break.

...

disturbing and good at the same time.

the movie was actually banned in australia. it's a pedophile's dream. i saw a bit of it (i haven't had a chance to watch it all the way thru yet) and it looks pretty sick. i think this guy has gone beyond making meaningful films and is just "doing an eminem" by trying his hardest to provoke a knee-jerk reaction out of people.
