Ken Park is a controversial and explicit 2002 film directed by Larry Clark and Ed Lachman. The movie is centered around a group of teenagers living in a suburban area of California. The story follows the lives of four main characters - Shawn, Claude, Tate, and Peaches - as they navigate through their troubled home lives and their relationships with each other.
Shawn is a seemingly typical teenage boy who lives with his parents and younger brother. His father is emotionally distant and verbally abusive to both him and his mother. Despite this, Shawn remains attached to his family and spends time skateboarding with his friends.
Claude is a teenager who is constantly bullied and physically abused by his father. His mother is heavily pregnant and seems to be more concerned with her unborn child than her son's well-being. As a result of his troubled home life, Claude retreats into his thoughts and spends his time masturbating.
Tate is a violent and troubled teenager who has a deep-seated hatred for his grandfather. He seeks out sexual relationships with older women and expresses his rage through acts of brutality. Despite his disturbing behavior, Tate still manages to form a close bond with his friends.
Peaches is a teenage girl who lives with her overbearing, religious father. She tries to rebel against his strict rules by engaging in sexual acts with her boyfriend and eventually runs away from home.
The movie portrays a bleak and explicit depiction of teenage life, with scenes of violence, sex, and drug use. It was met with controversy upon its release due to its explicit content and disturbing subject matter.
