MYSTERIOUS SKIN

Film: Mysterious Skin. very interesting. much better than the book that I couldn't finish - directed by Gregg Araki who is sort of a cult director - he did Doom Generation and Nowhere. It's about these two boys who were sexually abused by their little league coach: one becomes a shit talking hustler and the other has a psychological transference of the events and he thinks he was abducted by UFOs. The subconscious of the UFO boy surfaces at these bizarre moments and he is led to seek out the hustler boy, who tells him all the details he's been blocking for ten years. It's really good and explains a lot about the adult behavior of sexual abuse victims. two thumbs up.
