Nowhere
“I know there's got to be somebody out there somewhere... just one person in this huge, horrible, unhappy universe who can hold me in their arms and tell me everything is going to be okay. And how long do I have to wait before that person shows up. I feel like I'm sinking deeper and deeper into quicksand... watching everyone around me die a slow, agonizing, death. It's like we all know way down in our souls that our generation is going to witness the end of everything. You can see it in our eyes. It's in mine, look. I'm doomed. I'm only 18 years-old and I'm totally doomed.”
Just a perfect reflection of the existential dread of adolescence. That desire to know yourself and find others that know you and love you for it. That feeling that your life is just beginning and it’s already over, that the world and your future is in your hands but also you are completely powerless to it.
It perfectly balances absurd humor and abstract imagery with cold blooded reality and human sorrow. It’s changed my approach to filmmaking and my approach to life. It won’t be for everyone, but was an absolute masterpiece to me.
