Foo Foo Dust: A film for the whole family

The award-winning "Foo-Foo Dust" explores the relationship between a crack-addicted prostitute and her junkie son living together in one room in San Francisco's Tenderloin District.

The film invites the audience to witness a disturbing and intimate portrait of the destructive power of drug addiction, including a crack-induced fit and near-fatal heroin overdose. But what makes the film so powerful is its moving, poignant look at the intense love between a mother and her son living on the edge of society.

2003, 37 min., $240, and reportedly hard to watch.

Not really, I wouldn't, but I would like to see the film about the 'arty-liberal' that gets angry when its pointed out that normal people aren't interested in seeing others pretend to suffer onscreen, or actually suffer if it's some docu-thing.
And then a scene where they act like the only alternative to showing pain as entertainment / to pass the time with, is a film about people who genuinely might not be aware that they world they exist in is actually worse than 'The Matrix', but the film wouldn't be about that - it'd be about how they go about their blue-pill life as if it's normal to live in a world where you slave away for rent money, to pay for a sub-human place to stay, in a world that destroys nature to feed its corrupted wasteful pointless waste of a culture.

Would you go see a film about the happy employee who does what he's told?
oh good, more misery. : 2008-06-11 09:29:43
Sounds great. Who wants popcorn? I'm always saying, what we need are more films about incredibly depressing lifestyles that nobody would ever want to have themselves. I can't think of anything more uplifting and pleasant to be feasting my eyes and ears upon.
