After 25 years, revived in 4K. The most dangerous youth film! (R18+) 'BULLY 4K' Larry Clark's shocking work returns to the screen in 4K after 25 years. 'Why was the bully killed?' A youth crime film based on a real murder case, adapted from Jim Schutze's nonfiction book of the same title about the 1993 murder of Bobby Kent in Florida. In the boring suburbs of South Florida, childhood friends Bobby and Marty are bound by a distorted relationship that can hardly be called friendship. Bobby dominates; Marty continues to obey. Into this dynamic come the free-spirited girl Ali and the lonely Lisa. Lisa, who falls in love with Marty, tries to separate him from Bobby. But Ali also learns of Bobby's cruelty, and among the young people, anger and fear quietly swell. 'If only Bobby were gone—' What begins as a joke-like murderous thought draws in the group and eventually becomes a real plan. No one stopped it. No one thought it was serious. And on a boring summer night, they cross a line from which there is no return. Why does youth turn to violence? Where does friendship become domination? Why does love create accomplices? 'BULLY 4K' simultaneously embodies the brilliance of youth films and the coldness of crime films, exposing the violence born of everyday boredom and indifference—one of Larry Clark's most dangerous works. Larry Clark of 'KIDS' teams up with young talents emblematic of the early 2000s. Also noteworthy is the music featuring Eminem, Thurston Moore, and other major artists! Directing is Larry Clark, known for the photo book 'Tulsa' and who shocked the world with his 1995 feature debut 'KIDS.' His authorship, observing young bodies, gazes, desires, and violence without moral distance, is powerfully etched into this work as well. The cast includes Brad Renfro as Marty, Nick Stahl as Bobby, along with Bijou Phillips, Rachel Miner, Michael Pitt, Kelli Garner, and Leo Fitzpatrick—young actors emblematic of early 2000s American cinema. Their raw performances give the story an inescapable tension. The film's music features Dr. Dre feat. Eminem's 'Forgot About Dre,' as well as tracks by Fatboy Slim, Cypress Hill, Daz Dillinger-related songs, and other tracks capturing the atmosphere of US hip-hop/club music around 2000. The soundtrack also includes a track by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. The intense musical design, where hip-hop's era-defining sound intersects with noise/avant-garde acoustics, is a major highlight. New visuals and trailer also unveiled for the 4K theatrical release 25 years after production! New visuals and a trailer have been completed for the 4K theatrical release. The new visuals capture the dazzling light of South Florida and imagery evoking the precarious relationships of the young people, conveying the raw pain of youth and unsettling atmosphere characteristic of Larry Clark's work. These visuals impress upon viewers the film's vividness revived in 4K and its dangerous appeal that remains undiminished even years after its release. The trailer depicts the aimless daily lives of young people in the boring suburbs, along with the domination, anger, and murderous intent gradually spreading among them. It condenses the music where hip-hop intersects with an unsettling score, the exposed expressions of the young cast, and the tension hurtling toward an irreversible incident, powerfully conveying the world of 'Bully 4K.' SYNOPSIS: In the suburbs of South Florida. Childhood friends Bobby Kent and Marty Puccio spend all their time together, cycling through boring jobs, drugs, and making pocket money on the streets at night. But their relationship is more than mere friendship. Bobby dominates, insults, and binds Marty with violence. Marty, though hurt, cannot escape the relationship. The two encounter the free-spirited, beautiful girl Ali and her friend Lisa. Lisa, who falls in love with Marty, comes to wish she could save him from Bobby's domination. Meanwhile, Ali, having become involved with Bobby, also witnesses his cruelty and abnormal violence. Love, jealousy, anger, fear. The young people's pent-up emotions swell, and eventually Lisa becomes desperate. If only Bobby were gone, wouldn't everything end?— The murderous thought spoken as a joke gradually draws in the group and becomes a real plan. And on a boring summer night, they cross a line from which there is no return. Based on a real murder case, Larry Clark of 'KIDS' lays bare the pain of youth, desire, domination, and the ordinariness of violence in this shocking work.
