The Living End (1992)
Gregg Araki’s low-budget 1992 film has a lot to say about the anger of living with HIV and the nihilism of self-pity. Meaning, it operates as a kind of guilty-pleasure Death Wish for pissed-off gay men with HIV. Watching two rogue men living with HIV shoot gay bashers and consider driving directly to the White House for revenge might be offensive, but it sure scratches an itch for many people living with HIV, then and now.
