My Own Private Idaho (1991, Gus Van Sant)

In Seattle, narcoleptic male hooker Mike meets Scott, who rebels against his wealthy family by working the streets. The two decide to mount a search for Mike's mother. Their journey leads them initially to Mike's home in Idaho, and eventually to Italy. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Henry IV.

An iconic Gen X road movie. A loose interpretation of several Shakespeare plays. An assembly of separate scenes, snapshots and postcards. The scene around the campfire, rewritten by River Phoenix, is magnificent.
