Suburbia (1983)
Country: US
Technical: col 99m
Director: Penelope Spheeris
Cast: Chris Pederson, Bill Coyne, Jennifer Clay
Synopsis:
In suburban America it is hard to tell who is the sicker, the drop-out punks or the middle-class families from which they hail.
Review:
A film that evens up the ambivalences so well one feels sympathy for neither party, one merely looks forward ruefully to the day when British society will be comparable to this one: the upstanding side, vociferously demanding law and order and prepared to enforce it themselves, though essentially corrupt; the rebels, violent, corrupted, but clinging onto the value of some form of family unit while rejecting all conventional morality.
