Nowhere Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Gregg Araki
Genres: Comedy Drama
Rating:
Described by director Gregg_Araki as "A Beverly_Hills_90210 episode on acid" (with no suggestions of what it might be cut with), Nowhere is a companion piece with Araki's previous meditations on youth gone wild in the 1990s, Totally_F***ed_Up and The_Doom_Generation -- Araki's self-described "teen apocalypse trilogy." Nowhere follows 18-year-old Dark Smith (James_Duval) as he goes through a fairly typical day in Los Angeles. Dark needs, but rarely gets, emotional support from his girlfriend Mel (Rachel_True). Mel, however, is also involved with a girl named Lucifer (Kathleen_Robertson), while Dark moons over hunky Montgomery (Nathan_Bexton). Dark's best friend Cowboy (Guillermo_Diaz) has troubles of his own, as his boyfriend and bandmate Bart (Jeremy_Jordan) is back on drugs and spending most of his time with his dealer. Mel's friends include sugar junkie Dingbat (Christina_Applegate), doomsday poetess Alyssa (Jordan_Ladd), and Egg (Sarah_Lassez), who is being unexpectedly wooed by a Famous Teen Idol (Jason Simmons). Egg's brother Ducky (Scott_Caan) has a crush on Alyssa, but she's keeping company with a biker named Elvis (Thyme_Lewis). Alyssa's assignation with Elvis gets a psychic boost by her twin brother Shad (Ryan_Phillippe) and his tryst with Lilith (Heather_Graham). The day continues on a roller coaster of kinky sex, hallucinogenic drugs, random violence, romantic misunderstandings, alien abductions, and (of course) a wild party, this time at the home of noted hipster Jujyfruit (Gibby_Haynes). Like The_Doom_Generation, Nowhere features a wealth of pop culture icons in cameo appearances, including John_Ritter, Traci_Lords, Charlotte_Rae, Eve_Plumb, and Shannen_Doherty. Mark Deming, Rovi
