Wassup Rockers - Larry Clark


I saw the new Larry Clark film Wassup Rockers last week and it's still on my mind. This movie will have more mainstream appeal than his other films. His last film Ken Park (a masterpiece) didn't even make it to the U.S., but was seen in parts of Europe and you can find it on DVD (non-U.S.region). Some of the dialogue in Wassup Rockers would only work with the cast he choose. Wassup Rockers is about Latino kids from South Central that go to Beverly Hills to skate and end up hooking up with some white girls, get in all kinds of trouble. Then, they try and get back to South Central where it's safe.
