Mysterious Skin
Based on Scott Heim's novel, Gregg Araki's powerful drama sees two young men uncover a shared secret from their past. Brian (Brady Corbet) was just eight years old when he woke up in the basement with a bleeding nose and no memory how he got there. 10 years later his search for the truth has led him to Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), cool and aloof, who played on the same little league team. Neither will be prepared to learn the truth of the events that have shaped them.
