The “look-the-part†aspect and the “speak-the-language†lingo are two criteria’s that are met from casting the roles in such a manner. The integral make-up part of a Clark film is the ‘look’ of youth-as he has done in the past he chooses to go with a bunch of non-actors from nearby skate-parks and 7/11’s to play the central characters.
As in his previous films such as Kids (1995) and Bully (2001),-youth alienation and its subcultures dominate the film’s backdrop, but this time around Clark also points a narrative finger at world of adults. Ken Park explores Clark’s continual fascination for the youth subculture, but the emphasis is placed on the fact that the kids are perhaps not the only ones to blame for the mess.Ĭlark is no stranger to controversy-his directorial debut gave us teenage sex, drug use and a boy who picks up girls and passes out his HIV virus, this film doesn’t steer far from this. Do you know where your children are? Filmmaker Larry Clark apparently does and his newest film gives us another pornographically jarring portrait of how messed up society has become in the big old USA. What are the moms and dads of Suburbia America up to? Perhaps more than one person would benefit from the European school system-which keeps the kids in school and away from casual ménage a trios and gang bang orgies and also prevents malicious adults from psychologically and mentally abusing them. Something is terribly wrong when people turn to Jerry Springer to learn about people should resolve their conflicts and even more frightening is when a four year-old passes her time playing with her dolls and watching women in clad bikini suits in front of a television set twice her size. Clark paints a hard knock life of suburbia.
