The Doom Generation

In Gregg Araki’s THE DOOM GENERATION, a laid-back Cali boy and his foul-mouthed girlfriend pick up a dangerously alluring drifter, triggering a sex-charged road trip through fast food, violence, paranoia and American decay. Stylish, shocking and shoegaze-soaked, Araki turns young desire into a neon nightmare hurtling towards oblivion.

Rialto Recommends THE DOOM GENERATION is Gregg Araki’s road movie to hell: lurid, funny, erotic, violent and gloriously unhinged. With Rose McGowan, James Duval and Johnathon Schaech caught in a triangle of lust and danger, the film captures youth as both pose and punishment. Pop-art nihilism with a killer soundtrack, it remains a defining blast of 90s queer indie provocation.
