Young punk lovers take a highway to hell after picking up a devilishly handsome drifter in this rapturous restoration of Gregg Araki's iconic 90s work

Description

New York Premiere
4K Restoration of the unreleased Director’s Cut

In this rapturous restoration of Gregg Araki’s THE DOOM GENERATION, young punk lovers Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) and Jordan White (James Duval) take a highway to hell after picking up a devilishly handsome drifter named Xavier (Johnathon Schaech).

When the threesome are forced to go on the run after a bloody blunder at a convenience store, they encounter a bizarre and hostile American landscape of jilted lovers, neo-Nazis, and explosive sexuality. Featuring eye-popping set-pieces, a killer soundtrack, and delirious cameos--including Parker Posey, Margaret Cho, and Heidi Fleiss--this galvanizing and gory romp remains a hilariously subversive tale of 90s American aggression.



In-person tickets include a post-screening Q&A with director Gregg Araki, moderated by Jane Schoenbrun
