I mentioned "Ken Park" in my first blog on Tin Trains as an example of a director who made one messed up awful film and followed it with a fun, cool and still slightly strange film (Wassup Rockers). It seems i didn't make a good enough case for how weird, distasteful and well, fucked up this film is, instead making it sound almost intriguing. Now i had two ideas on how to correct this. One to write a post explaining how shocking the film is, and the other was to try and post a few more blogs around making it sound more enticing, creating some sort of new, albeit longer, "2girls1cup."
This idea appealed to me. I could see it. Five years from now there would be 1000's of YouTube videos of peoples reactions to watching the film and office workers would send each other disguised links to the worst bits of the film just to mess with their minds. A more elaborate, extended rickroll say.
However i decided to choose the first option, missing out on my chance of becoming an urban legend. There is a reason why "Ken Park" isn't heard of much. It wasn't allowed a cinema showing in 100's of countries. I'm not even talking the fun ones like Saudi Arabia or China, even supposed liberal ones such as New Zealand banned the film. The film almost made it to release in the U.K. until Larry Clark, the director, punched and strangled the head of the film's distribution company backstage at a film festival. I have decided to create a user-friendly handy list for all the reasons why this film shouldn't be watched / will scar you for life.
- Suicide in the 1st minute of a teenage boy
- Incest
- Rape
- Auto asphyxiation Masturbation - choking oneself whilst knockin' one off
- A naked kid murdering his grandparents in their sleep
- A false marriage of a father and daughter
- BDSM
- Underage sex - incredibly graphic ( actors weren't actually underage)
DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM
