Written by Harmony Korine and directed by Larry Clark, Kids is the definitive controversial film of the 1990s about a subculture of misdirected youth with a visual language so evocative it still resonates.

While on the hunt for his latest conquest, Telly and his best friend, Casper , smoke pot and steal from shops around New York. Meanwhile, Jenny (Chloë Sevigny), one of Telly’s early victims, makes it her mission to save other girls from him. But before she has a chance to confront him at a party, everything goes horribly wrong.
