Kaboom: Synopsis

Kaboom shares key touchstones of Araki’s early films, including carefully framed Pop Art-like shots, absurd Valley-inflected dialogue, elements of campy gore and Araki’s troupe of arrestingly sexy guys and girls. With his sophisticated synthesis of various experiments in tone and cinematography, Araki has reached a new level of artistic maturity. The cast of up-and-coming actors includes Thomas Dekker (“A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “My Sister’s Keeper,) Juno Temple (“Atonement,” “Dirty Girl,”) Haley Bennett (“Marley and Me,” Joe Dante’s “The Hole 3D,”) and French actress Roxane Mesquida (“The Last Mistress,” “Sheitan”).
