The year 2018 is not what you would call a Larry Clark moment. The director of “Kids,” “Bully,” “Wassup Rockers,” and the new “Marfa Girl 2” — yes, he has made a sequel to a film that virtually no one saw — is now 75 years old, and he may be the cinema’s last shameless mystic of forbidden sexuality. These days, you know you’re watching a Larry Clark film when the sex scenes are real as opposed to simulated, when the close-ups of genitals (mostly male) are multiple and looming and adoring, and when the performers are non-professional actors whose job is to live up to an ideal of skinny hard-bodied youthful tumescence.
That’s been the Larry Clark fetish going back to his two fabled books of transgressive photographs, “Tulsa” (1971) and “Teenage Lust” (1983), and in 50 years of flesh-gazing it hasn’t changed much. Neither has the fundamental controversy that surrounds and...

Leave it to Larry Clark to still have some major tricks up his sleeves, including a surprise sequel to one of his signature films. In 2012, the always-independent director of “Kids” and “Ken Park” premiered his lo-fi “Marfa Girl” at the Rome Film Festival, where it went on to win top honors. Initially, Clark was intent on only making the film available via streaming access on his own website, a natty way to avoid what he called “crooked Hollywood distributors,” but he eventually relented and sold the North American rights to Breaking Glass Pictures.
Two and a half years after “Marfa Girl” debuted at Rome, Breaking Glass released the film on VOD and in theaters, followed by a summer home-video release. Three years later, Clark is back in business with the indie distributor, which is now releasing his unexpected sequel — his first-ever foray into something even resembling franchise filmmaking — “Marfa Girl...

Days Go By: Clark Returns to Apathetic Adolescence for Latest
After having won the top prize at the 2012 Rome Film Festival, controversial filmmaker Larry Clark’s Marfa Girl was available for streaming directly from his official website. Now, nearly three years later, Breaking Glass Pictures is distributing the title in limited theatrical release. For those familiar with Clark’s work, the title doesn’t feel like anything new from the director, navigating a milieu of loosely connected adolescents and the peripheral adults in their environment as they conquer their all-consuming boredom with illicit drugs and promiscuity. The customarily blatant yet generally believable crude conversations revolving around sexuality present in all of Clark’s work is full force here.
Seeing as this is the filmmaker’s first feature in seven years, following 2005’s Wassup Rockers (though it should be noted a 2014 title The Smell of Us premiered in last fall’s...

Made just on the cusp of his turning 70, photographer-filmmaker Larry Clark's latest reckless-youth provocation (see also: Kids, Bully, Ken Park) proves Matthew McConaughey's immortal Dazed and Confused adage: He gets older, but those skinny, objectified adolescents stay the same age. Within this loosely paced West Texas portrait of lyrical desolation (its grungy panoramas quite beautiful when not looking like advertising gloss), smoking pot, fucking, and spanking the boredom away is still the modus operandi for Clark's largely nonprofessional ensemble. Half-Hispanic teen Adam (Adam Mediano) skateboards from one hedonistic distraction to the next and is occasionally bullied by sadistic, racist Border Patrolman Tom (Jeremy St. James). Everyon...
