Kids (DVD, 1995) - Dir. Larry Clark, Written by Harmony Korine

This is the DVD of the controversial 1995 film "Kids," directed by Larry Clark and written by Harmony Korine. This pre-owned disc is in very good condition.

The film follows a group of aimless, nihilistic teenagers in New York City over a single 24-hour period. It focuses on Telly, a skateboarder who makes a sport of seducing virgins, and his friend Casper, as they drift through the city engaging in drugs, sex, and casual violence, unaware of the devastating consequences of their actions.

Given "Two Thumbs Up" by Siskel & Ebert, who called it "A Wake-Up Call To The World!", "Kids" is a raw, unflinching, and highly controversial look at teenage life, presented in a documentary-like style.

This is a landmark independent film, though viewer discretion is strongly advised due to its graphic content. Essential viewing for fans of Larry Clark and Harmony Korine's challenging work.

"Kids" ignited a firestorm of controversy upon release for its explicit depiction of teenage sexuality and substance abuse. It launched the careers of writer Harmony Korine and actors Chloë Sevigny (an Academy Award nominee) and Rosario Dawson. It remains a deeply divisive but influential piece of 90s cinema.
