It's a bizarre, surreal and sex-saturated black comedy set in a vaguely futuristic and apocalyptic Los Angeles, filled with petty, pretty, vacuous, bisexual, drug-addled teen friends. Throughout the movie, they get abducted by aliens, killed, or commit suicide amidst lots of SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll as they try to get to an exclusive, rave-type party for more of the same. It is described as "[[Series/BeverlyHills90210 90210]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on acid]]" on the VHS cover box, which is apt.

''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119809/ Nowhere]]'' is a movie from 1997, written and directed by [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000777/ Gregg Araki]] and starring [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000777/ James Duvall]] as a teen boy appropriately named Dark, doing his best EmoTeen version of Creator/KeanuReeves from [[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill & Ted]].
The "plot" revolves around Dark's [[EvilIsPetty petty]], [[HeyItsThatGuy pretty, vacuous, bisexual, drug-addled L.A. teen friends]] who [[CrapSackWorld get abducted by aliens, get killed, or commit suicide]] amidst lots of SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll as they try to get to an exclusive, rave-type party for more of the same.
The movie is supposed to be some sort of [[PopCulturalOsmosis homage]] to Creator/BretEastonEllis, specifically Rules Of Attraction, ''Literature/AmericanPsycho'', and Less Than Zero. There are also references to Kafka (the cockroach), and Warhol (the soup can). It rounds out the supposed "Teen Apocalypse Trilogy" started by "Film/TotallyFuckedUp" and "Film/TheDoomGeneration" (both also written and directed by Gregg Araki and starring James Duvall). It is described as "[[Series/BeverlyHills90210 90210]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on acid]]" on the [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes VHS]] cover box, which is apt.

''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119809/ Nowhere]]'' is a movie from 1997, written and directed by [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000777/ Gregg Araki]] and starring [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000777/ James Duvall]] as a teen boy appropriately named Dark, doing his best EmoTeen version of KeanuReeves from [[BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure Bill & Ted]].
The "plot" revolves around Dark's [[EvilIsPetty petty]], [[HeyItsThatGuy pretty, vacuous, bisexual, drug-addled L.A. teen friends]] who [[CrapSackWorld get abducted by aliens, get killed, or commit suicide]] amidst lots of SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll as they try to [[DazedAndConfused get to]] an exclusive, rave-type party for more of the same.
The movie is supposed to be some sort of [[PopCulturalOsmosis homage]] to Bret Easton Ellis, specifically Rules Of Attraction, AmericanPsycho, and Less Than Zero. There are also references to Kafka (the cockroach), and Warhol (the soup can). It rounds out the supposed "Teen Apocalypse Trilogy" started by "Totally Fucked Up" and "The Doom Generation" (both also written and directed by Gregg Araki and starring [[strike:Keanu Reeves]] James Duvall). It is described as "[[BeverlyHills90210 90210]] [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on acid]]" on the [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes VHS]] cover box, which is apt.
