Okay, these days I'm very into coming of age/teenage rebellion films, and a few days ago I watched "Over the Edge", a film thats been lost somewhere under my bed for a couple of months (such a slacker I am). Directed by Jonathan Kaplan (he mainly does Tv-drama-crime-series), starring a very young Matt Dillon (the outsiders etc. etc.) and Michael Eric Kramer. Magnificent soundtrack, mainly by Cheap Trick, whom I don't really know...
Anyway it is a classic, a must see, about teenagers rebelling against their concervative parents, getting drunk, getting stoned and trashing the school. It is not a comedy, it is very gripping and sad and makes the viewer want to run away from everything and/or ruin stuff for all the snotty grown-ups.
Fuck patriarchy and fuck the patriarchs!
PS. Matt Dillon was such a sexy kid!
