Viewing Notes
From Netflix I had Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin (2004) which I think I added to my queue because of Araki and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who I heard was good in this. And this is true because I don’t think this would be the easiest performance to pull off convincingly. Essentially JGL’s character is molested as a child and grows up to be a male prostitute. Some intense scenes and not a film I could watch often. Tragic film.
