Aro Recommended American History X

 

USA 1998, 119 minutes
Dir. Tony Kaye
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Drama / Controversy, Youth, Prison

Topics: Educational Resource.

 

Aroview: Potent dissertation on generational anger among the skinhead community of Los Angeles' Venice Beach, that though flawed by brushes with cliche, is a mesmerising, passionate work.

Main honours go to Edward Norton (Oscar-nominated) as a charismatic neo-Nazi, reformed after a stint in prison but still caught in deadly crossfires of gang and family life. Adding weight to the rhetoric is an excellent support cast.
