cinema at the museum: nowhere

Gregg Araki's Nowhere is a 1997 film about a group of disillusioned Los Angeles teenagers on the day the world is foretold to end. Their lives spiral into a chaotic mix of drugs, sex, death, and alien abduction as the film examines an entire generation's direction and apathy. The 82-minute film is stylized and provocative, functioning as both a nightmare portrait of adolescent extremes and a study of youth culture's emphasis on style over substance. The film contains violence, substance use, coarse language, and a scene of sexual violence, and is recommended for audiences 18 and older. Tickets are ten dollars, and members plus youth under 18 get in free. You'll need to check in at the front desk to receive an admission token.
