Mala Noche (1986)

“John Campbell’s cinematography, jangly but coffee-stained, turns poverty and hedonistic thrills into cinematic playthings. Gus Van Sant’s screenplay, naturalistic but funny, reminds us that, while these characters might appear to have everything going for them, the carelessness of pleasure-seeking is but a fleeting thing.”
