Gus Van Sant's Mala Noche Competition

Tartan Video releases two films by award-winning director Gus Van Sant on DVD on 28th April 2008. His latest film Paranoid Park, also released on Blu-Ray, explores teenage angst, whilst unrequited love is the focus of debut feature Mala Noche, never previously available in the UK - win DVDs!

Made in 1985 on a shoe-strong budget and based on a novella by Portland poet Walt Curtis, it’s a gritty celebration of the outsider, a world male hustlers and immigrant workers, which feature in some of his other movies, such as Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho. Long before the emergence of New Queer Cinema directors such as Todd Haynes and Gregg Araki, it explores male desire with honesty.
