|---|
KEN PARK is a film written by Larry Clark and directed by Larry Clark and Edward Lachman in 2002.
The movie depicts a few days in the life of four friends. Shawn is having an affair with the beautiful mother of his girlfriend. Peaches is trying to cope with his bigoted father who has caught her while she was having sex with her boyfriend. Claude is rebelling against his father who despises him because he's not the kind of son he wanted to have. Claude will finally leave home after his father has tried to have sex with him while intoxicated. And Tate, who lives with his grandparents, becomes more and more aggressive with them. He'll finally kill them in their bed after an argument.
