First in the Teenage Apocalypse trilogy, Totally F***ed Up (1993) follows the intertwining lives of six young gay and lesbian characters through a Godardian structure of fifteen separately titled sections. In this film, Araki creates a vivid portrait of everyday adolescent pressures compounded by a host of extraordinary burdens: AIDS, homophobia, gay bashing, parental rejection, and escalating gay teen suicide rates.
