'You're corrupting another generation, just so you know,' Richard Linklater tells Gregg Araki, whose cult films are enjoying a renaissance.
Gregg Akaritattoo on her leg. “I swear my kids say that’s the cultural exchange they have to know if you’re cool or not,” he told Araki on Zoom last week while touring the fall festival circuit with his own new feature,For years, Araki’s films were criminally hard to find, or were otherwise seen in suboptimal quality. “They were looking at the shittiest, crappiest versions of the movies that just literally make my skin crawl,” says Araki, whose glossy new restorations bylast month.
soundtrack. I’ve signed so many CDs, DVDs, cigarette packs, I’ve signed everything. And this kid brought up a cassette of thesoundtrack. Where did you find this shit? Literally me and Jimmy were like, “What? I’ve never seen this.”ARAKI: Yeah, it’s crazy. And now he has a signed one of those and it’s just like $10,000 or something.
ARAKI: That’s totally old-school. And it’s so much work, especially this year with the SAG Strike, your actors weren’t there to get photographed and all that shit. So it’s like you’re literally marketing and selling the movie on your own. And the reaction was so ecstatic and so amazing. I knew you were going to get a big sale.
LINKLATER: Yeah, you look at your pictures like, “Look at that body. No wonder we were getting laid.”. “We’ve got to have as much sex and love as we can while we’re young and pretty and everybody wants us. Because we’re going to be old and ugly one day.”ARAKI: So you were talking about Netflix. Well, I guess you can’t say anything bad about them ’cause they’re your home.
ARAKI: It would take hours and hours and hours. But it’s such a double-edged sword because it’s like, yeah, it’s amazing. You want to see a Kieslowski movie or something, you just push a button and you’re watching it. But the flip side of that is, and it’s kind of maybe what kids are looking for when they’re going to Slowdive concerts or going to, it’s the idea of the search and the effort. When you find it, it’s like a treasure. It’s something that you cherish.
