The Doom Generation: Director's Cut (Late Nights)

Headed home after a wild night at a Los Angeles club, young lovers Jordan White (James Duval) and Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) pick up a dangerously handsome drifter named Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech). Jordan doesn’t see a problem with offering Xavier a quick ride, but his acid-tongued girlfriend thinks he’s a creep.

When Xavier inadvertently kills a convenience store clerk, they are forced to go on the run, traversing a bizarre and ultra-violent America.

Somehow, every random thug, drive-thru operator, and neo-Nazi they encounter seem to recognize Amy as a past fling or alter ego, adding to the already explosive sexual tension brimming among the renegade trio.

Gregg Araki’s fifth feature film, THE DOOM GENERATION, is the alienated teen pic to end all alienated teen pics. Born from a tradition of films like REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and BADLANDS, DOOM essays the genre with a nitro-burning mix of black comedy and subversive sexuality. The result is disturbingly original portrait of three teenagers going nowhere fast, very fast.

Restored in 4K with scenes edited for its theatrical release in 1995, this version reflects the director’s cut, intended by Araki. The film has been completely retimed and reedited for today’s technological standards. The sound is remastered to compliment today’s new audio standards in a new 5.1 mix.
