Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho is beautiful, liminal, disorienting—a film full of references, allusions, and visual poetry.
When I watch My Own Private Idaho I feel a profound nostalgia for the person I was, for the city I loved.
When it comes to queer tragedy, there is nothing more affecting and unusual than Gus Van Sant’s beautiful, dreamlike slice of strange Americana, My Own Private Idaho.
