FUCK.!!!!!!!
I have just seen the film "Ken Park". I do not now what to make of this movie if you can call it that!.
One moment I am watching a film, and the next i thought I was watching a porn movie but with 16 year old KIDS.
In all the time I have been watching movie's for the big screen I have never seen graphic sex like this in a movie before. I was truly shocked and it take a lot the shock me.
I do not no what to say about this movie. On one hand my respect go's out to the director for making a film like this, and showing the true side of life at that age, and yes thing do happen like that sometime.
But on the other hand it just made me fill like the director has taken this movie to far, just to mush.

I meant writer, not producer

ok.. I just red some comments and critics... and I'm figuring out the story...
not as I expected to be.

man I saw many of Gaspar Noé (his earlier stuff -Seul contre Tous - makes Irreversible seems like a christmas carol) and similar stuff. Larry Clark's works goes in the same direction. It's not that I expect answers, enlightment entertainment from such a movie. But one should have enough sensibility to undertand what's being shown is just gratuitous. And I'm afraid this applies to this film.

K, what cycle at King?

Ken Park is banned in australia.... i have not been allowed to decide for myself whether its gratuitous or not.
i've seen larry clark's other films and from what i've heard and read it sounds like a progression of kids and bully - ie fucked up teenagers doing fucked up things - i don't think that it should be banned just because it might be gratuitous...

wow, nice stuff in here, k. going to check it out...
- unfittoprint0
they ban films in Australia? damn...

larry clark is a pedophilic pervert who uses these kids to satisfy his own very disturbing fantasies.

exploited teen actors

that could well be rawness.
but then again, maybe you should see films in the perspective of reality/documentary? The things you see do actually happen in real life?
but then again, I never saw it, not really planning to see it either.

Just finished watching it.

Have to think about this one.
Definitely some crazy shit.

4cy:
i never said that these things don't happen in real life..of course they do. my point is like that of "sporty thief"..he's exploiting teens for the sake of his "art" and for the sake of his own perverted preferences. maybe next time you should watch the movie then base your opinion on that.

i'm some ways i like larry clarke, but in most ways i don't. pretty much everything i've seen of his is full of naked/semi naked 15 year old street kids.
checked out one of his books the other day. the design was cool, but it was just full of very young boys.
not my thing really

hmm, sounds like rawness is right.
if all his work is stuffed with it..
bah.
