Bugs
Synopsis
Like a cross between Harmony Korine’s work and Tim Hunter’s cult classic River’s Edge, Bugs follows a group of teenagers as they plan their weekend and jostle for position in the complex hierarchy of teenage social networks. Meanwhile, in nearby bushland, lies the corpse of Amanda. But, oddly, no one seems to care.
