Description

"I always know where I am by the way the road looks..." Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix star in director Gus Van Sant's seminal meditation on the nature of innocence as two young men living on the fringes of society peddle their bodies for sex. Amiable, none-too-bright street hustler Mike Waters (Phoenix) works the streets of the Pacific Northwest with his best friend Scott Favor (Reeves). Mike secretly loves Scott. And Scott, the son of Portland's wealthy mayor, secretly yearns to cast off the friendship of his fellow lowlifes and assume his birthright of wealth, power and respectability.

    One of my favorite movies I will always love Gus Van Zandt what a wonderful talent I love how he is Shakespeare and how he in a corporation Inc. it was street hustlers of The 1990s so intelligently written and amazing in every way every actor was perfect for the film it's hard to explain how awesome this film is because it's so intricate and interesting I think anybody that watches it and has a love for movie would love this film by wonderful awesome director. A++++++++++ for this for this amazing movie. Gus is obviously a made an amazing talent and chose the perfect cast for this movie I love it because it's so unusual and so intelligent. Also love it because it's a bit off-the-wall and I love those types of movies if you like this movie feel like all of his other films they're all great. There is nothing in this film that needs to be changed in anyway like most movies you can find something you wish they did differently with this movie it's perfect in every way. Gus Van Zandt, the director and actors are perfectly in sync with one another and the script is amazing. Wisely Written & Directed. RIP River Phoenix.

    This is such a great flm I feel a lengthy review would be insluting to it. I'll simply say that it is one unlike any other and was done so well that the memories of it tug at the heart strings. This story has left my heart forever cracked.

    This movie is so.. I cannot find the words to describe this sad, suspenseful, funny and drama filled movie. I love the realness and raw feeling you get between Mike and Scott. Mike is in love with Scott and I found that the scene when they are around the fire really captures them. What they feel towards each other. This movie took me on an emotional roller coaster. I love it! Bravo!!

    One of Van Sant's crowning achievements and of course River. Imagine if he would of lived... Nonetheless, I fell in love with Van Sant's craft and in love with River Phoenix.
