I remember seeing this one at the cinema back in the day and being baffled by it and not necessarily in a good way. On returning to it again after all these years, it probably works a bit better now as a snapshot of its time. Don't get me wrong, there are still moments of patience-testing-drivel but it all seems much more forgivable now in hindsight. Its story, such as it is, follows a bunch of L. A. college students in their day-to-day lives and melodramas. But that description only really scratches the surface as there are aliens and much weirdness throughout. For what its worth, director Gregg Araki describer it as 'Beverly Hills 90210 on acid'. One thing is for certain, the soundtrack was kind of impressive though, with choice cuts from such unexpected shoegaze acts as Slowdive, Catherine Wheel, Curve and Lush. I was just about to say that this was a Marmite movie but I just remembered I rated it 6/10, so I guess that just massively undermines that statement.
