Ken Park ( new Larry Clark film )

I was wondering if anyone had seen this ? I see that it has opened up pretty much everywhere except in the U.S.
The poster for the film shows a nude woman laying on her back, legs spread , and teenage boy looking up inbetween her legs. I'm sure this will only be shown in art-house theaters , but I wonder if they will have this poster up too ?

Looking forward to it. There's no way that poster will end up in American theaters.

I'm sure there will have to be an alternative poster created.

You'll need a place to upload the jpeg to and then place the address inside

[.img]http://www.uploaded_location/pic.jpg[/img]

But remove the leading period in the img tag.

If it's Larry Clark then I'll give it a chance.

I hope we get the unrated version, which I'm sure there
will be.

Or, after clicking Post Reply, click the IMG button and paste the url into the popup box that appears.

Thanks for the help.

Now I just have to find a place to upload it.
Otherwise I'll post a link from where I got it if anyone is still interested.

I just watched the movie. The girl on the poster is actually supposed to be like 35-40 in the movie. She is married and has a daughter that is dating the guy in the poster. There is way more penis than nude women in this movie. We see like 5 dicks and only 2 girls naked. The thing about this movie is the sex is real. It shows a guy really jacking off, a guy eating ***** for real, a girl sucking dick, getting her ***** played with, and having sex. It was a good movie. It is sort of like a mix between Bully and Kids, with it leaning more towards Kids.

I just watched the DVD (It's PAL format but not sure what Region....the language on the cover looks Greek). Glad I have a Region free player.

I thought the film was good....I would give it ***/****. It does not have much of a plot....more of "a few days in the life of these characters" structure.

I just saw this a couple of weeks ago on DVD. I can definetly see why this movie had trouble finding distribution in the U.S. The scene where Tate is watching the tennis match on TV was crazy!
It'll be very interesting to hear and see the reactions of people viewing this in theaters.

Here's my two cents.. alright, half that but oh well:

This movie, to be quite frank.. was lame. It served little point, wasn't much of a commentary, and while some scenes did seem genuine a lot just seemed to be there to well, be there. The oral sex bits are obviously faked (they aren't shown full on and you can tell what they're doing.) and the auto erotic scene with the belt just seemed kind of, I don't know, too long. It's not an entirely horrible movie but it just isn't good by any stretch or very memorable, but it is well shot (cinematography) and I guess Clark gets some credit for trying something different.. Just needs to get some new material here, these looks at teen suburbia are starting to get old (Kids was alright, Bully I liked a lot, Ken Park is just kind of a dying wimper).

The characterization for the most part was solid, and for the most part you know people like this, but when it's such an uncompelling series of events (with exception of one which really wasn't explored very well) it's no different than just talking to people, unless of course they're really.. really over protective. Only, I don't remember walking around my grand parents house naked when I was a teen, or hell before or after that.

Rest assured, many of you will be better off not seeing it, but if you must it's definitly nothing special, and most will be better off just getting a porn for the evening.

Oh and just to clarify, the story is just just.. weak.

It was awful. Not entertaining or erotic in the least, and all the people who took their clothes off should have left them on.....for a variety of reasons.

Nothing on a Region 1 release, but there is a region free PAL version on ebay that is supposed to be legitimate. I'm a sucker so I bought it and will re-post here after I receive it.

I enjoyed it, but then again I've liked all of the films he's directed.

I own the Region 3 DVD, only downfall is it has the male/female reproductive organs pixelated out. I knew this ahead of time but I figured it would be awhile before it got a Region 1 release so I bought it, and it was relatively cheap.
