My summary title is based around the fact that, in every Larry Clark film, skaters get chicks with such ease and normality that it goes beyond description. Young, old; it doesn't matter. Women of all shapes and sizes are always hot...and horny for skinny, immature boys who wear baggy pants and ollie curbs.
Worse than "Bully" and on par with "Kids," KEN PARK is by far Clark's most obscene film yet.
It really is a jaw-dropper. It's centered around a fire-crotched skater who blows his brains out while sitting atop a ramp in a crowded skate park, (I'm actually surprised some impressionable, depressed kid hasn't emulated that scene...or has one?) and his friends'(?)lives that involve screwing one another, screwing each other's hot mothers, and killing your loving grandparents.
There are at least two controversial scenes: a rat-faced skater eats out and gets a hand-job from a sexy, bomb-shell MILF(a scene that infuriated me considering the amount of hot mothers that I would love to screw)...and a scene where some angry, spoiled brat masturbates while choking himself with a tie and doorknob(sperm, pubic hair, an erection and a distorted red face are in full view).
Then there's an underage threesome, a naked boy who murders his sleeping grandparents, and a young girl who's forced to marry her dad, by her dad(surprisingly Clark decides to pan away before the daughter and dad get busy, which is pretty lame considering he shows EVERYTHING else).
I'm not sure if I hate this movie or like it, and I'm not sure I ever will. There are some scenes that really angered me, and some that I'll never forget.
There are two things for certain: Larry Clark is a pervert, and skaters, in the mind of Clark, are supreme sexual beings.
Gimme a break.
