“Two virgins in one day? That’s impossible,” said one New Jersey teen. “The sex was nasty,” said another. These were the comments of real teens asked to weigh in on Kids, one of the most controversial films of the 90s, maybe of all time. The film is Larry Clark’s searing portrait of randy youth, a horny and sexually frank rendering of New York skaters and groupies whose main aim was to collect V-cards and bluff about the breadth of their collection. Upon its release 20 years ago today, it cleaved audiences into two distinct categories: those who took offence at its X-rated honesty, and those who deemed it irrefutably ‘the shit’ – something to aspire to, emulate, watch and rewatch until their VCRs broke or the tape unfurled. Now it’s bait for lawless teens, a rite of passage for barely legals to check their privilege and gawk at hard-up, inner city life in a much grittier, puerile New Yawk.
