New 4K Re-release Trailer For Gregg Araki's 'The Doom Generation'

"You know I really only like you." Strand Releasing has released a new trailer for a 4K re-release of classic The Doom Generation from Gregg Araki film of the 90s. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1995, celebrating its 28th anniversary this year. It was also featured in the 2023 Sundance Film Festival lineup this year as one of their "From the Vault" offerings. Troubled teenagers Jordan White and Amy Blue pick up teenage drifter Xavier Red. Together, the trio embark on a journey filled with sex and violence through an America of psychopaths and fast-paced markets. With James Duval, Rose McGowan and Johnathon Schaech. The Doom Generation, restored in 4K with edited scenes for its theatrical release in 1995, this version reflects the Director's Cut intended by Araki. It has been completely re-timed/re-released for today's technology standards. The sound is also remastered in a new 5.1 mix. Araki's movies are a bit of an acquired taste, but this restoration looks flawless and could be a fun primer for anyone interested in its flaws.

Here is the 4K re-release trailer (+ poster) of The Doom Generation by Gregg Araki, on YouTube:

Returning home after a wild night at an LA club, young lovers Jordan White (James Duval) and Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) pick up a dangerously handsome drifter named Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech) . Jordan sees no problem offering Xavier a quick ride, but his acid-tongued girlfriend thinks he's a bad guy. When Xavier inadvertently kills a store clerk, they are forced on the run, traversing a bizarre and ultra-violent America. Somehow, every random thug, drive-thru operator, and neo-Nazi they meet seems to recognize Amy as a past fling or alter ego, adding to the already explosive sexual tension brimming among the renegade trio. The Doom Generation is both written and directed by visionary American independent filmmaker Gregg Araki, which was his fifth feature film at the time. It premiered at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival and had a retrospective screening at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Strand will re-release Araki's The Doom Generation in 4K starting April 6, 2023 (at NewFest in New York) with screenings in Chicago, LA and NYC after. Check your local arthouse listings.
