Features
Luster
2001, 90 Minutes
Director: Everett Lewis
|
Reminiscent of the remarkable indie break-out films of the ‘90s New Queer Cinema, Everett Lewis’ LUSTER explodes on screen with a hip, sexy Gen X vibe. Sam owns a record store where Derek’s always shopping. Both are in love with Jackson, the blue-haired poet who occasionally shows up to work there. Jackson’s a bit distracted, what with falling for Billy, a vision in leather pants he met at an orgy. But while Billy puts off Jackson in favor of closeted rock star Sonny, Jackson’s hunky cousin Jed comes to visit - and before Jackson can make his mind up about what constitutes incest, Jed’s already being seduced by Jackson’s lesbian pal Alyssa. This delightfully quirky roundelay is just part of the polymorphously perverse LA landscape that Lewis (NATURAL HISTORY OF PARKING LOTS) has so exquisitely captured. Poetry notebooks, snarky ’zines and indie record stores never seemed quite so sexy.
