(P/B) LESS THAN ZERO

Παρουσίαση

A raw and powerful portrayal of unmitigated hedonism in the brattish youth of 80s America, Less Than Zero is the instantly infamous debut which shocked the world and became a cult classic.
"People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles."
And so begins the tale of Clay, an eighteen-year-old student returning home to LA for the Christmas vacation. Troublingly, his holiday rapidly becomes a dizzying spiral of desperation, filled with relentless drinking in louche bars and glamorous nightclubs, wild, drug-fuelled parties, and dispassionate sexual encounters in the rich suburban homes of affluent America. A fierce coming-of-age story about the casual nihilism that comes with youth and money in a world where people are truly afraid to merge, Less Than Zero is morally barren, ethically bereft, and tinged with the often violent but always inexorable consequences of such depravity.
