Synopsis

A picaresque tale of two HIV-positive gay men -- one a writer, the other a studly, gun-toting drifter -- who hit the road after the drifter shoots a cop. Taking "until death due us part" as their motto (literally), this pair of outlaw lovers with nothing left to lose embark on an anarchic car trip across California financed with stolen credit cards and punctuated by shoot-outs and hot sex.

Review

Sight and Sound, 02/01/1993, p.49-50, "...Araki's movie is almost playfully picaresque....Immediate, desperate and intentionally disturbing..."

New York Times, 04/03/1992, p.C1, "...Dark humor doesn't get much darker than THE LIVING END....It has the power of honesty and originality, as well as the weight of legitimate frustration. Miraculously, it also has a buoyant, mischievous spirit..."

Film Comment, 03/01/2008, p.77, "[T]he petulance feels fresher than ever..."

Los Angeles Times, 08/21/1992, p.F10, "...Savagely comic, deeply romantic....[A] provocative, harrowing yet ironically exhilarating film..."

Title Note

USC film school grad Gregg Araki made "The Living End" on a budget of $20,000, part of which was an American Film Institute grant and part of which was donated by the producer's mother. It was a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival and New York's New Films/New Directors series.

Chris Munch, director of "The Hours and Times" did the lighting.

"The Living End" is part of the new wave of "queer" filmmaking that swept the independent film scene in the 1990s and includes such films as Todd Haynes "Poison" and Tom Kalin's "Swoon."

Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Classification.

Partially funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Product Notes

A post-modern story of love between Jon and Luke, HIV positive gay lovers who are on the run from the law and take off on an aimless odyssey across the U.S. with literally nothing to lose.
