M | 104 Mins | 1991 | DCP | USA| D: Gus Van Sant
Mike (River Phoenix) is a narcoleptic street hustler longing for a sense of belonging who befriends Scott (Keanu Reeves), a wealthy rebel fleeing his privilege.
Gus Van Sant’s moody ode to alienation blends gritty realism with poetic visuals in a loose remake of Shakespeare’s Henry IV.
‘Beautifully wrought, darkly funny and finally devastating, My Own Private Idaho almost single-handedly revives the notion of personal filmmaking in the United States.’ – Chicago Tribune
