Mine is Lost Highway. It’s one of the most amazing pieces of media I’ve ever experienced. It’s dark, surreal, and I still don’t know what it’s about for sure. I have my own interpretation, as do many others. Who’s right? We’ll never know. The film is a fucking trip. I highly recommend.
The Living End by Gregg Araki
the movie touches on many of the problems/insecurities that young americans had to deal with back in the late-80’s/early-90’s and stands in stark contrast to the world of today’s millenials & genz adults, but it’s still familiar in deeply touching and troubling ways.
every time i watch it, it never fails to remind me of an aspect of life that i lived, but had completely forgotten about in the decades since then and Araki has a way of making each one feel like an old wound that you forgot you had like it’s some sort emotional battle scar from living life.
a VERY young ethan hawke is in it and i’ve never disliked anything he’s ever done. lol
