film crush - slums of beverly hills

Natasha Lyonne plays Vivian, a blossoming teenager in a weirdo family that moves spontaneously, due to her fathers schemes and lack of income. Her rehab-escaped cousin - played by Marisa Tomei - joins the family and guides her through the beginning of womanhood, dildo dancing, secret languages, and sex with the neighbourhood pot dealer, Kevin Corrigan. This film oozes 1970's california summer and the film is saturated in kitsch. Floor to ceiling canary yellow and shag carpet anyone?





Even if you don't watch it for the dark comedy, watch it for the awfully brilliant colour scheme.
