KEN PARK MOVIE 2002 PROFESSIONAL

Peaches (Tiffany Limos) lives alone with her father, a devout Catholic. Tate (James Ransone) is something of a psycho who lives with his grandparents, cussing them out whenever given the chance. Shawn is learning the art of loveless sex from his girlfriendвЂ™s mother. The meat of Ken Park focuses on the kids in the picture. ItвЂ™s not until the end of the film after all of the other filmвЂ™s central youth have been sent through the ringer themselves that the likely reason for KenвЂ™s suicide is revealed. It becomes too much and Ken puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger, all the while he has his video camera rolling so his one act of infamy can be relived over and over. You canвЂ™t put a finger on it but itвЂ™s the same nondescript depression that haunts many youths. He likes to skateboard as weвЂ™re shown in the films first couple of minutes.

Ken Park is the name of one of the phantom children who lives in the filmвЂ™s suburban southern California town. Somewhere along the line parents abandoned their traditional role model status. As the film argues, Shawn and company live in a world where kids learn from one another, not from grown ups. ThereвЂ™s no adults present, just Shawn and his friends hanging out. Towards the opening of Larry Clark and Ed LachmanвЂ™s controversial Ken Park, Shawn (James Bullard), the filmвЂ™s narrator, shows a picture of his real family. This is the nuclear family and for many itвЂ™s now nothing more than a utopian dream.

Mom, Dad, 2.2 kids and maybe even the pet dog are all standing together with their hair all neat and tidy, their collars stiff and their smiles as real as a professional wrestling match. ItвЂ™s a typical Clark film with lots of graphic sex and lots of brutally honest commentary that flips the bird at traditional families.ДЄ staple in many, many homes around the world is the family portrait. Like ClarkвЂ™s Kids and Bully, Ken Park (co-directed by cinematographer Ed Lachman) focuses on suburban teenage angst. On the one hand youвЂ™ve got a powerful storyteller, on the other an unapologetic voyeur. Larry Clark is a filmmaker who always has something to say.
