In its own arbitrary, inscrutable way, it's Clark's most truthful statement as a director: Ken Park forgoes any modicum of social commentary or realism in favor of presenting a languid, explicit fantasia on nubile, vapid trash teens. Michael HastingsĪMG REVIEW: Yet another excursion into absurd teen sensationalism from co-director Larry Clark - teaming up once again with screenwriter Harmony Korine, the enfant terrible who scripted their 1995 breakthrough Kids - Ken Park lays bare (as it were) the filmmaker's obsessions in a manner he managed to evade with his previous efforts. Though Ken Park played at such festivals as Toronto and Telluride in the fall of 2002, it would languish on the shelf for months and months afterward, as its explicit content made finding a U.S. Finally there is Peaches (Tiffany Limos), living alone with her devoutly religious father as she covertly experiments with her boyfriend (Mike Apaletegui). Meanwhile, the vapid Shawn (James Bullard) occasionally trades verbal spars with his mother, in between leaving the house for sex sessions with his girlfriend's mom. Also tormented by his living situation is Claude (Stephen Jasso), a quiet, shy teen constantly henpecked by his brutish father (Wade Andrew Williams). The audience is introduced to Tate (James Ransome), a young man living in relative misery with his board-game-playing grandparents. Ken Park takes its name from the skate park where an ancillary character takes his own life in the film's opening moments, and then proceeds to chronicle the somewhat-interrelated lives of his classmates. (FILMAFFINITY)ĪMG SYNOPSIS: Filmmaker Larry Clark reunites with Kids screenwriter Harmony Korine, with some additional directorial assistance from cinematographer Ed Lachman, for this look at a group of troubled teens and their guardians living in Southern California.
