So stark in it’s from-a-true-story fashion it borders on personal ground
There’s something about the kids in Larry Clark’s films, such as this, Bully, and his 1995 classic Kids (which took place in New York and had the feel of an un-interviewed documentary), where the characters are brought so vividly to life, and their contemplations and actions in their dead-end lives, that I get reminded of the people I was around back in my grade school days (I’ve been out of the public school system for six months now). I remember the lay-abouts, the complainers, the overly medicated, and of course I remember the bullies, laying on abuse that sometimes they weren’t even aware they were inflicting.Nick Stahl plays Billy, bully among a circle of teenage friends in Hollywood, Florida, and his best friend from childhood is Marty, played with striking intensity by Brad Renfro, has been daily receiving torment, if not with punches and slaps, then more on the mental side. Soon, his girlfriend makes a suggestion “he should be killed”, and very soon after that the circle of friends agree, and then it continues, along with a so-called hit man, a good small part for Fitzpatrick who was noteworthy in Kids.
There will be some out there who may not be able to stomach the elements – it’s unrated, not a bad move, and there are as many moments of sex as in a Cinemax soft porn and as many moments of smoking dope as in a Method Man/Redman production – but that’s all part of Clark’s overall effect, and he pulls it off like a true craftsman and not as a overly exploitation film-maker. This circle of friends are a sad, hollow representation of the kinds of societies the youth of the nation inhabit, and the key is that it’s correct, at least in such a banal suburbia. Grade: A
Thanks a lot, Larry Clarke…
…for making the most authentically depressing movie about bullies ever.You know the story, ‘coz a bunch of films have tried to emulate or recreate it: some oblivious sociopathic jerk-ass bullies his friends, who decide to end it once-and-for-all by planning to kill him. The problem (or benefit) to Larry Clarke’s film-making is that the scenario becomes uber-real.
Here the casting and acting are all top-notch. Everything about the grimy, swampy Florida suburbs are elucidated to the outside world, giving us a look at the crappy lives of these dead-beat teens. None of the lifestyles here should surprise you if you’ve spent much time in a podunk beach town, or a crappy strip-mall-infested slice of Americana. But as previously said, the casting and direction is a little too authentic.
This movie is much better than Kids, because it doesn’t feel like a pederast obsession and highlights a more explicit event. Thing is, Clarke’s movies always feel kinda creepy and I wonder if the dude doesn’t have an unhealthy obsession with this grimy, broken youth culture. He seems to have really strong nostalgia for his experiences of living through it. It doesn’t surprise me that Leo Fitzpatrick, a character here and in Kids, also worked with director Todd Solondz. In ways, Solondz makes me think of a cross between Clarke and Woody Allen’s darker, clever moments.
This is worth watching. Even if it isn’t pleasurable viewing, it’s captivating and solid film-making. It is probably the best movie Clarke has done.
RIP le Brad Renfro!
