The Troublemakers

1990 · 20 min

A scrappy, ironic slice of underground life that feels like hanging out with broke outsiders who turn poverty into performance art.

Directed by
G.B. Jones
Tagline
Of all delinquent pastimes, sexing is probably the most popular. They treat it as a joke - and many times as a spectator sport.
Overview
The lives of four down-on-their-luck characters. Surrounded by the vestiges of conspicuous consumption, they struggle to survive outside of society, fashioning their own aesthetics of poverty and devising strategies to navigate a surveillance society, evading or performing for cameras everywhere.
How it feels
Satirical, cynical, absurd and campy. Measured and needs your attention.
About
Class, isolation, identity, survival
Content
Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
