Synopsis
Billed as "a heterosexual movie by
Gregg Araki
," The Doom Generation is the director's self-styled bad-taste teen film. Amy Blue (
Rose McGowan
) is an obnoxious teenage speed freak and her boyfriend Jordan White (
James Duval
) is a passive, slow-witted poseur who won't have sex with her because he's terrified of AIDS (even though they both claim to be virgins). One day, they run across Xavier Red (
Johnathon Schaech
), a charming but enigmatic drifter who has a bad habit of killing people. Joining the young couple on a seemingly endless road trip, Xavier (or "X,"as the verbally challenged Jordan insists on calling him), proves a threatening and repulsive yet strangely alluring companion whose very presence raises issues of loyalty and sexual identity. The Doom Generation is dotted with a variety of eccentric cameo appearances, including comic
Margaret Cho
, actress
Parker Posey
, musician Perry Farrell, "Hollywood Madame" Heidi Fleiss, and onetime
Brady Bunch
star Christopher Knight. This is the middle installment in Araki's "teen apocalypse trilogy," which also includes 1993's Totally F***ed Up and 1997's
