ABOUT THE FILM
THREE BEWILDERED PEOPLE IN THE NIGHT | USA | 1987 | 1 hr 32 mins
Director: Gregg Araki | Writers: Gregg Araki | Cast: Darcy Marta, John Lacques, and Mark Howell.
A gay performance artist, his video-artist best friend, and her sexually confused photographer boyfriend fall into a disorienting bisexual love triangle in Gregg Araki’s rarely-seen feature debut about “angst, despair, and coffee shops in the Modern World.” Made for $5,000 and shot across Los Angeles entirely at night (and without a crew), THREE BEWILDERED PEOPLE IN THE NIGHT is a triumph of low-budget filmmaking and a fascinating origin point for one of the most beloved queer filmmakers of the past three decades. As the film’s original press notes state, “In short, an anxiety-ridden Good Time is guaranteed for all.”
Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
