#596 - Kids: Drugs, Sex, 90s Teens - WatchThis W/RickRamos

Larry Clark's Kids This week Mr. Chavez & I travel back to the mid-1990s to look at a difficult, troubling, and polarizing film that raises questions concerning good taste, artistic license and victimization, as well as exploitation. Few films have caused the uproar that Larry Clark's Kids did in 1995. A quasi-documentary examination of aimlessness in an alcohol, drug, and sex driven New York of the 1990s, Kids is troubling for its frankness and sexually explicit narrative depicting high school kids discussing and engaging in sex and drug taking in a manner ignorant of their dangers. With a storyline driven by alcohol and drug use, unprotected sex, violence, HIV, and utter hopelessness, the film is a snapshot of a time that feels frighteningly real. We discuss our memories of both the film and our experiences with our own versions of youth culture. Directed by Larry Clark, written by Harmony Korine, and introducing both Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson, Kids is a cinematic time jump that forces an uncomfortable discussion.
