nowhere is a the movie by gregg araki, the final installment of his teen apocalypse trilogy. it follows an 18 year old aspiring director named dark, played by araki's muse james duval. he's torn between his love for his girlfriend mel, who wants to be polyamorous, and his wants to be monogomous with her only. you could say this is the conflict of the film, but it it really focused on that, i wouldn't be making a shrine for it. see, it also follows dark's friend group- mel, mel's girlfriend lucifer, dark's best friend cowboy, dark's crush montgomery (yeah and he still has that thing about only wanting to be with mel. idk either), not to mention some twins named ducky and egg, a drug dealer named handjob, a pair of dominatrixes named kozy and kriss, and many others.
nowhere takes place in one day in la. some of the normal teen drama things that happen in it include: 4 alien abductions, 2 linked suicides, a murder with a soup can, as well as lots of sex, gore, and burping. everyone's just trying to go to a party at jujyfruit's (played by gibby haynes of butthole surfers fame) place.
unfortunately, nowhere was critically panned upon its release, and because there were so many unliscensed songs in it, it never really got a widespread release. the upside to it is that nowhere is now totally free on youtube. (content warning: from 30:36-31:50 there is a sexual assault scene. from 14:53-15:06 there is implied bulimia, but no vomit shown on screen. these can both be skipped with context) give it a watch, and then another watch, and then one after that...
