This is yet another Gregg Araki production that features vacuous, sexually ambiguous teenagers (primarily male ones) and bright, neon colored lighting and costumes. It tries hard to shock in a deadpan way, but it's not shocking... in fact, it's no different than any of the films he's been making for years. When is Araki going to do something different? I thought he was turning into a serious director when he made "Mysterious Skin," but then he went back into his fixation with pretty teenage boys. At almost 60 years of age, I'm willing to bet he has made some serious observations about life as an adult that would make great films. I hope he eventually makes them and stops creating these films and t.v. shows that aren't much different than listening to pop music.
