Larry Clark's new film, 'Wassup Rockers'

Director Larry Clark is back with a new film, 'Wassup Rockers' that looks like a killer blend of teen rebellion, skateboarding and punk rock.

His other films including 'Kids' and 'Ken Park' are definitely some of the more jarring, stunning and compelling films I've seen about the comples lives of teens who don't fit into the mold.

Larry Clark's official Web site looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but there's some good info there to get you started if you're not familiar with his stuff.

Here's a recent interview Larry Clark did with phillyBurbs.com's Lou Gaul.

CORRECTION: I erroneously wrote that Larry Clark directed 'Gummo.' Mike K. was quick to point out, "FYI, Harmony Korine wrote and directed 'Gummo,' and was the writer of 'Kids.' Larry Clark directed 'Kids,' 'Bully,' 'Ken Park' and 'Another Day in Paradise. '

And Mike K. also adds, "Used to read yakuza back in the print days of fanzines and also a huge Stern fan."

Sounds like my kind of dude.
