the dialogue! the set design! the casting! the soundtrack! It's all Gregg Araki! I must truly say that I, as a creative director of Julian Red, envy the awesome team of Kenzo who had the thrill to work with such a great filmmaker, visionary and indie-kitsch guardian as Mr Araki. I still remember my first encounter with an Araki directed film, it was when I lived in Paris in 1997 and his one and only blockbuster movie "Nowhere" was shown in the theaters (the Kenzo movie is sort of set in the l'air of this movie). The experience was a transformation, a little revolution in aesthetic and expression, there and then, by myself in the dark. I think I saw it 5 times. Coming spring, in 1998, visiting New York City for the first time, I had looked up the best assorted video store and picked up "Nowhere", "The Doomed Generation" and "Totally Fucked Up" on VHS. Still got them today...
