"She made three in the series, this, then II and III. This one is about hardcore punk in L.A. in the early ’80s so there’s a lot of Black Flag and that whole scene. Its aesthetic was one of the main influences that Chris Blauvelt and I used for Mid90s – for the way things looked, the way the backstage in the apartment looked, for the 16 mm. It’s a remarkable and encompassing snapshot of a scene that I’m personally drawn to, and the ethics and aesthetics of the film are as fucked up and raw as what it’s depicting. The crazy thing is that Penelope Spheeris started as a punk doc maker and ended up directing broad ’90s comedies - she made Wayne’s World (1992)! She also made Suburbia (1983), which is amazing, and another influence for Blauvelt and I. The main thing I did when I became a known as a an actor and had access to people and filmmakers, was me saying, like, “Hi, I’m the kid from Superbad, can I please have all the Decline movies?” That’s how I abused fame at that time."

Can't stop thinking about this one, that kind of film that sneaks up on you ever so carefully when you're watching it - then delivering a mighty wallop directly afterwards, when you least expect it. Sinks its grasp into you slowly, hypnotically, until eventually revealing and digging its claws in deep during that wild last thirty minutes. Uncompromisingly steamy - a sultry fusion of murder mystery, softcore porn, and perfume commercial aesthetics. In other words, pretty fucking awesome. The robust acting that Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier give to these two fully-formed characterizations lay claim to every ounce of your attention - impossible to miss a single detail. Sort of wish we knew more about a couple of the characters but it may not have even been a necessity when writing *this* cautious leaves the viewer in a constant state of questioning, wondering just where the hell it's going to go every step of the way. At first I was let down by its infamously ambiguous ending, but no sooner afterwards did I love it. Sun-soaked, quiet depravity that contains its pressure for an eventual explosion.
