Two teenagers dream of escaping the gloom of their hometown and form a unique bond at a local modeling school where the promise of a better life forces the girls to abuse their bodies in increasingly extreme ways. Met director Saule Bliuvaiten at NYC Baltic. Film Festival Scandinavian House screening of "Toxic" and as I write this review 2 days after it is clear that she is the Auteur! Slow-motion images that capture the post-Soviet industrial landscape of a small Lithuanian town with broken junk cars. But the pulsating characters play basketball, fix cars, model, drink, kiss and seek life outside the post-Soviet block. When talking to Saule I referred to Harmony Korine’s Kids (directed by Larry Clark), which explores the same themes of adulthood but set against the changing backdrop of NYC. Despite the stark difference in the main characters’ gender and emotional goals. Their journey is identical in seeking comfort and affection or parental guidance in a TOXIC environment: booze, cigarettes, sex and parental absence. Go watch – not for the drama, but the bare bones stripped to the cinematic aura of naked bodies (sauna scene), but the desire… The desire to be in sync with your parents, your neighbors, your grocers, but most importantly your teenage self developing in an ever-changing or unchanging socio-economic landscape. I’m not a father – but after watching this I understand why my parents needed to know where I was after school. Continued Saule – thanks for taking the first Director/fan photo with me at Scandinavia House. Continued … In the Author Film Series 🙂
