Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Delinquent is a dreamy, suspenseful drama about Tim, a teenager trapped in a mobile home in the sticks with his alcoholic, donut-eating (one of the films only clichés) cop dad and the memory of his mother, whose body he recently found after she committed suicide. He finds a vacant summer home that makes the perfect hide out and escape as he uses his hungry imagination to live vicariously through the belongings of an absent teenage girl and her family.
In an adorable scene involving a top hat, lingerie, and a mirror, we see a stunning display of his sensitive side, sexual curiosity, and escalating anger towards his father, who chides him for reading both porno mags and Virginia Woolf. Meanwhile, the girl is having problems of her own and sneaks away from boarding school to the refuge of her summer house, unaware that an uninvited guest has got his hands on both the family's gun and a videotape of one of her intimate moments. Revealing any more would be revealing too much.
The plot takes some entirely unpredictable twists and the ending is riveting. I saw this film at a new filmmakers' screening and the audience was truly awestruck by the final moments.
For you cool kids out there who remember Gang of Four (they also had a song on the Dogs in Space soundtrack) you'll love their guitar-laden atmospheric score.
