What happens
Totally F***ed Up (also known as Totally Fucked Up) is a 1993 American avant-garde drama film written and directed by Gregg Araki. As the first installment of Araki's Teenage Apocalypse film trilogy, it is considered a seminal entry in the New Queer Cinema genre. The film chronicles the dysfunctional lives of six gay adolescents who have formed a family unit. Over the course of the movie, they struggle to get along with each other and with life in the face of various major obstacles. As classified by Araki, it is "a rag-tag story of the fag-and-dyke teen underground....a kinda cross between avant-garde experimental cinema and a queer John Hughes flick." Because of the film's 15-part structure and use of documentary-like interviews, it has earned comparison to Godard's Masculin Féminin (1966), which Araki has cited as significant inspiration. Totally F***ed Up first premiered at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
