Mysterious Skin | R18+

Viewer Advice: Contains themes of child sexual abuse.

Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Brian (Brady Corbet) are two young men from the same small Kansas town whose lives have been shaped by a shared childhood trauma they cannot fully remember. Years later, their very different paths—Neil’s search for intimacy and escape, and Brian’s obsession with uncovering the truth behind his fragmented memories—lead them toward a painful confrontation with the past. Adapted from Scott Heim’s acclaimed novel, Mysterious Skin is one of Araki’s most emotionally resonant films.
