Aro Favourite Spanking the Monkey

 

USA 1994, 95 minutes
Dir. David O. Russell
Genres: Drama, Comedy / Black Comedy, Independent

Topics: Rites-of-passage.

 

Aroview: The awkwardness of youth is brilliantly captured in this provocative tragi-comedy, another maverick success story from the US indie scene. A student steps in for his father to look after his convalescing mother with whom he develops a strangely special relationship. Themes of insecurity, alienation, trust and abuse are treated with a deftly delicate balance of the poignant, the queasy and the comic.
