At the age of eight, Kansas youngsters Neil and Brian played on the same little league baseball team. Now, ten years later, the two boys couldn’t be more different. Neil is a charismatic but emotionally aloof male hustler, while Brian is a nervous introvert obsessed with the idea that he has been abducted by a UFO. When the boys’ parallel lives inevitably intersect, the pair unearth dark, repressed secrets on a harrowing and unforgettable journey of self-discovery.
Director Gregg Araki's Statement: “I’m SO excited about the glorious 4K restoration of MYSTERIOUS SKIN! When we made this little indie 20 years ago, we barely had enough money to finish it, let alone pay for a Digital Intermediate and the bells and whistles of a larger studio film. I would never drastically alter the film which has such an amazing and passionate following around the world. However, the incredible tools made possible by modern digital technology helped us polish and enhance the picture in a way that wasn’t possible in the early 00’s. MYSTERIOUS SKIN holds a special place in my heart and I can’t wait for audiences, present and future, to experience this new definitive version of it.”
“MYSTERIOUS SKIN is a helter-skelter ride of the soul, an unblinking, white-knuckle crash landing into the mushy mysteries of the subconscious.” - The Washington Post
“This is a serious piece of work that’s even better the next day.” - San Francisco Chronicle
