Product Description
New Grenada is a planned community in the rolling plains west of Denver. It is a soulless oasis of split levels home, coffee mornings and crushing blandness, where the adults strive to attract investment and their neglected kids are left to make their own entertainment. When the youth centre closes at dusk, this manifests in vandalism, drug-taking, theft and general hooliganism, resulting in the accidental shooting of a police officer. When the town s parents gather the next night to discuss the degenerating situation, they soon discover the kids have had all they can take. Starring Matt Dillon (Crash, Wild Things) in his first screen role, Over The Edge is a beautiful, yet starkly realised social treatise about the rhythms of teenage life, made at a time where youth crime was rampant across middle America. The vastness of the desert setting adds to the sense of hopelessness that engulfs the townsfolk and makes for a ground-breaking and memorial movie that introduced the troubled-teen cinematic genre.
Synopsis
A brilliant commentary on the restlessness of America's youth. By trying to keep the 'fun' out of New Grenada, the parents are only adding fuel to the fire. When a misunderstanding causes the death of a mischievous, yet harmless, teenager, the students rebel, inciting a riot that the parents and authorities are unable to control. The screen debut of the then unknown Dillon, with a soundtrack (The Ramones, Cheap Trick) that adds even more energy and power to an already impassioned, tightly-woven script.
