Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Araki's 'Teen Apocalypse Trilogy,' this film was rated NC-17 and barely released, becoming a midnight movie staple for queer kids who found Godard too soft.
Rose McGowan allegedly hated the experience and Araki's direction style; their tension arguably fuels Amy's performative cruelty.
