Gregg Araki Digs Deep in "Mysterious Skin"

Gregg Araki's new film, "Mysterious Skin" has been deemed one of the director's finest films. The Guardian calls it "tight and engaging, a model of narrative economy - unlike his provocative works of the 90s, most of which fall under the umbrella of the New Queer Cinema, in which facts, figures, Godardian text, intentionally sloppy editing, and both drug-like lethargic and over-the-top campy performances keep the audience at arm's length." The film is also doing well with audiences, reclaiming the top spot in this week's indieWIRE's box office chart. Howard Feinstein interviews Gregg Araki in The Guardian.
