When Bad Kids Stay Bad

Saw Larry Clark's Bully the other night. Nihilistic, depraved, voyeuristic and vaguely pornographic (that could actually be any of Clark's films) it is the story of a group of jaded Floridian teenagers who decide to kill one of their social circle, the bully of the film's title. Anyway after the murder the whole thing unravels at the speed of light until all participants end up behind bars. In fact their stupidity seemed to be typical of so many murders where the police are able to locate the culprits within forty-eight hours. Extremly disturbing - but easily the best film I've seen in a while.
