Another homo movie by Gregg Araki.
The unhinged first chapter in the groundbreaking Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, Totally F***ed Up, is back at The Frida Cinema!
Shot on grainy 16mm with the raw energy of a punk mixtape, the film follows six queer teenagers searching for connection while navigating a world that seems determined to reject them. Told through diary confessions, the film captures the exhilaration and uncertainty of growing up on the margins at the height of the AIDS crisis.
An independent filmmaking landmark, Totally F**ed Up announced Gregg Araki as one of American cinema’s boldest new voices. More than thirty years later, its restless spirit and unapologetic celebration of queer youth remain every bit as vital, making it the perfect place to begin our journey through one of the most singular filmographies of the last three decades.
