Dirty Looks presents *Three Bewildered People in the Night*, the first (unreleased) film by Gregg Araki. Gregg Araki, *Three Bewildered People in the Night*, 92min., B&W 16mm on HD digital video, 1987 ~ Gregg Araki’s first, unreleased feature is a moody chamber drama about friendship, apathy and sexual fluidity. David (Mark Howell) is a performance artist, navigating the poseur factions of the L.A. underground, with his video artist gal pal, Alicia (Darcy Marta), and her photographer boyfriend, Craig (John Lacques). They tramp the urban wasteland at night, from arcade to diner to another sad club scene, and soon sparks fly between the boys, too. Araki’s early debt to Jean Luc Godard is palpable in this aching black and white movie that moves like a Smiths song. HD 16mm scan by Outfest Legacy Project, courtesy of Strand Releasing.
