Reviews for The Doom Generation
Inspired by Godard's classic Band Apart, Araki's fifth feature is his most audacious and most technically accomplished film to date, reflecting the larger than usual budget and gained experience.
It's a savagely funny ride fueled by Araki's insight and blunt compassion.
Plays like a low-budget Natural Born Killers -- and that is not intended as a compliment.
The violence becomes commonplace. The crudities never end. But there are hip benefits for staying to watch.
Amy's a screaming, speed-addled banshee, and not the sort of chick you'd want to run into late at night (or spend 85 minutes with in a darkened theater).
An arty atrocity for thugs and sub-literates that makes Natural Born Killers look like The Sound of Music.
More like Natural Born Killers than any other film that comes to mind, but it's ultimately sexier, funnier, and much more 'alternative' (in every sense of the word).
Not every kid may be as mad and morose as Araki's lost boys... But a lot are, and in this fevered fantasy of Armageddon, he's got their number.
This is the kind of movie where the filmmaker hopes to shock you with sickening carnage and violent amorality, while at the same time holding himself carefully aloof from it with his style.
