dir Gregg Araki White Bird in a Blizzard…good film, bad poster. This is a book I definitely judged by its cover. But am I wrong? Everything about it is boring and flat and totally misrepresenting the actual movie. Yes, there’s a mysterious element that’s not usually present in Araki’s work,

This was my first Araki feature (way back when), which I’m happy about even though it’s objectively not his best. There’s heavy crossover with Nowhere (1997)
