Brattle Theatre Presents: “The Doom Generation”

Originally billed as a “A Heterosexual Movie by Gregg Araki,” THE DOOM GENERATION is still anything but straight—particularly in this new uncensored director’s cut. Two teenage lovers, Amy (MacGowan) and Jordan (Duvall), plus one handsome drifter (Schaech) go on a sex and violence fueled odyssey after a convenience store clerk is accidentally killed. The trio careen towards a twisted ending through a series of nocturnal encounters during which it seems that everyone is either an ex-lover of Amy’s or mistakes her for one. The second in Araki’s Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy, THE DOOM GENERATION is an unforgettable and unique blast of sex, violence, and ‘90s attitude.
