Aro Favourite Suburbia

 

aka: Rebel Street's aka: Wild Side
USA 1983, 95 minutes
Dir. Penelope Spheeris
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Cult / Punk, Youth

Feat.  Flea

 

Aroview: Low key yet definitive dramatic portrait of the American punk scene, staged with non-actors as the "T.R. gang" who set up camp in a scuzzy L.A. suburb.

Sincerely delivered, this doesn't shy away from the effects of their nihilistic pranks, but also allows sympathy when they are terrorised in turn by local rednecks. The dir. of the DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION series shows a keen awareness of tribal details, while gathering an authentic looking cast that includes future 'Red Hot Chilli Pepper' Flea.
