I love greg araki so I'm partial to this aesthetic. But yeah it definitely hits you emotionally raw. How identity gets constructed and our ability to construct our own escapes from potentially crippling experience as well as the late eighties early nineties experience that araki does so well. I loved the soundtrack but the images were tough as hell to stomach, sick joke.
I read the book before I saw the movie and that was quite good too, more back story and more of the main characters sexual escapades. Scott Heim wrote it.
anways, yeah...good stuff if you're into that sort of thing.
