- Synopsis:
- Director Gregg Araki chronicles the messed-up lives of six gay LA teenagers, as they try to keep it together in the face of AIDS, homophobia, queer-bashing and infidelity. Along the way, the best friends - an aspiring film-maker, artist, skater dude, cosy dyke duo, and sexy depressive loner Andy (James Duval) - experiment with sex, drugs and artificial insemination. A film for anyone who has grown up gay and lived through the pain of alienation, this self-consciously cool story of the gay teen underground is New Queer Cinema at its edgiest, a humorous yet moving study of an unwanted generation.

Zines, Angst and Camcorders: Araki's Queer Eye for the Disaffected Teen - Totally F***ed Up review by griggs
A raw, scrappy snapshot of queer teen life in early ’90s LA, Totally F***ed Up is messy in all the right ways. Gregg Araki ditches polish for an unapologetic honesty, throwing us into a DIY patchwork of angst, irony, and punk-fuelled rebellion. It’s part video diary, part group therapy, with a cast of disaffected teens forming a fragile chosen family. Chaotic, angry, and strangely tender—it captures that feeling of being young, lost, and just trying to survive with an authenticity that's hard to come by.
