Gregg Araki's The Living End should be remembered as a before-its-time cinematic masterpiece — made as it was in 1992, back when HIV was the bleakest of diagnoses, fodder for reductive, dreary made-for-TV panics and pity parties. Chronicling the road trip of two angry HIV-positive men with a "f*ck everything" attitude (and a penchant for taking out homophobic cops), The Living End captures the desperation and rage of a misunderstood disease and generation — and it signaled the arrival of an important American voice in film. Tonight's screening of the Sundance-nominated film includes a remastered cut and a Q&A with Araki.
