Description
Summary:
"A post-modern story of love propulsed by a hardcore-industrial soundtrack. The Living End explores the sexual and fatally romantic consequences of gay male attraction in the 1990s. The film focuses on the relationship between a pair of young, HIV-positive outcasts with literally nothing to lose, on the lam in the desolate, quasi-surrealistic American wasteland. Jon and Luke find themselves bound together by circumstance and embark on a torrid love affair. Outcast and on the run from the law, they take off on an aimless odyssey across the barren existential void of the USA. When Jon announces he's had enough of the romantic fantasy and is returning home, he finds himself at gunpoint and the mercy of the unstable, unpredictable Luke. During an intense, sexual and emotional showdown on a deserted beach, their twisted relationship come to an unnerving climax and an inevitable resolution." -- Unedited summary from container.
