User review:

Gregg Araki can be faulted for not inviting the “main stream” audience into his “vision” of the world. But this probably isn’t really a goal of his, anyway. As I watched “Nowhere” in the theater (twice in one week) I was filled with awe that something I had always felt had been so colorfully put on celluloid: finding love is all that matters, but the world isn’t designed to make that finding easy. So when “Dark” finds an amazingly true moment amongst the usual Araki violence, hilarity, sex and clutter (a moment to simply relax and hold the person in the bed next to him) it rings true to the heart of experience. The movie ends in the next moment with an equally true touch. So, the sooner we find love, the sooner it can find its own reason to leave us. Araki’s best film. If you don’t get it, then he probably doesn’t want you to.
