Dead Men Driving

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: Beloved by some, mystifying to more, a portrayal of nihilistic lovers in the dark valley of AIDS, ca. 1992.
Review: I first saw Japanese-Californian film-maker Gregg Araki's "The Living End" when it was on the Sundance/gay film festival circuit in 1992. It was very obviously made with a tiny budget, but the rage of its HIV-positive gay characters connected with...

My Mood is Black When My Jacket's On & I'm In Love with Myself

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Living End is an Excellent, Anarchaic Film from the Often-Provocative Gregg Araki.
Review:
The 1992 Sundance Film Festival is often considered to be a great class where a bunch of new film directors emerged. Two directors that came out to become the most successful from that class were Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, both of...

The End of Living - No - The Living End

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: At times life is bleak and depressing. Why not show that in a movie?
Review: It could be said that you have not experienced cinema until you have seen a Gregg Akari film. Of course, one could also say that exact same thing about a handful of interesting directors including Federico Fellini, John Waters, or in more recent...

Indie film at its best, a buddy/road flick, oh, with AIDS

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: It was called the gay Thelma and Louise.  It is similar in points and if you like indie and TnL, this should entertain.
Review: The Living End, auteur Greg Araki’s first film, was the first film to take on AIDS from a gay perspective specifically to a gay audience.  What makes it different from films before it is that it tells a story that has AIDS moments in it but is...

I Blame Society.

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2009
The Bottom Line: One Of The Most Underrated Films I've Ever Seen.
Review: "I Blame Society." How original. This tired, old saying is written in an empty parking lot by a restless and reckless drifter named Luke, who is subsequently HIV positive and gay. Jon is a relatively timid and pessimistic movie critic who is also...

Araki's LIVING END

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: Gregg Araki's first film is a powerful social commentary, and a good look at society in general in the mid 1990's. Worth a look.
Review: The films of director Gregg Araki are some of the most poigniant looks at our society that have ever been created. They almost remind me of the brutally honest portrait created by Larry Clark's KIDS in how in-your-face and no-holds-barred the films...

Intensly depressing

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2000
Review: This movie interested me because of Araki's name. I had previously seen Nowhere, Splendor and the Doom Generation (other movies of his), and I reluctantly picked out another of his films.
The film begins and you learn that the main character (a...
