20th anniversary!
Two young men are haunted by similar events from their past, though the effects manifest themselves in very different ways, in this powerful drama from director Gregg Araki. Neil is a rebellious teenager who engages in risky behavior. Brian is a socially awkward young man who suffers from blackouts and is convinced that he was abducted by aliens. As their paths converge, the painful truth about their shared past gradually comes to light.
Featuring unforgettable performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Brady Corbet (director of THE BRUTALIST), MYSTERIOUS SKIN is a poignant, sensitive, and deeply moving story about sexual abuse and its long aftermath.
