Brian Lackey is determined to discover what happened during an amnesia blackout when he was eight years old, and then later woke with a bloody nose. He believes he was abducted by aliens, and N. McCormick, a fellow player on Brian's childhood baseball team, may be the key as to exactly what happened that night.
As Brian searches for the truth and tries to track him down, Neil McCormick takes up hustling and moves to New York, in attempts to forget childhood memories that haunt him. Together, the two of them uncover the terrible truth of the scars they share. Two boys. One can't remember. The other can't forget. Did you know Edit.
Trivia Gregg Araki said in an NPR interview that he shot all of the scenes with the child actors in such a way that they did not know the sexual context of their abuse scenes, and only during editing did he make the movie appear to show children being abused or witnessing abuse.
Goofs There is a Metallica "St. Anger" sticker with the "St. Anger" wasn't released until Quotes [last lines] Neil : [narration voice-over] And as we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. Alternate versions The film reviews generally list a 99 minute run-time.
The British Board of Film Classification, bbfc. User reviews Review. Top review. A brave, wide-eyed look at a controversial subject. I have a feeling that most of the reviewers here have not read the text of "Mysterious Skin" by Scott Heim. Doing so would be most helpful in viewing this film. Out of sheer luck, I happened to find a screening in Las Vegas, almost a year after the initial release, having finished the book only one day before.
It was an interesting experience from the start. One got the feeling of stepping into an adult cinema, instead of a semi-mainstream release. A first for me, for sure. The movie captures the feel of the book spot on. Director Araki should be commended for staying so close to the text. Hardly anything was left out and what was deleted did not detract from the storyline in the least. Heim's novel deals with subject matter that most people would prefer to deny exists.
But back here in the real world, it does. On screen we see the sensualization of an 8 year old boy, along with his sexual fantasy. Not for the squeamish, but Araki communicates this brilliantly without diluting the message.
Most people would shy away from a story that has an 8 year old boy having an orgasm as he watched his mother have intercourse, but Araki does not. And somehow he makes it okay. Hats off to the boys cast as the young Neil and Brian. Chase Ellison captures the emotions of his character very well. He captures the darkness of Neil McCormick incredibly, and translates perfectly from the written page. We sense the confusion turning into acceptance and then, desire.
It made me squirm in my seat. George Webster as young Brian is great. I can't imagine a lot of actors lining up to play the boylover coach, but Bill Sage does very well. In the story, his role doesn't seem like a pure predator, but clearly he has devices at work. He's in the right place at the right time. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a marvel is this film. There was a genuine quality to his character, an aloofness that comes with knowledge at an early age that is hard to put into words.
Brady Corbett successfully brought his youthful character along, and I think his interactions with the other characters is spot on for someone who had had an experience like his.
Plagued by nightmares, Brian believes that he may have been the victim of an alien abduction. With a loving but promiscuous mother 'Elisabeth Shue' qv , Neil is wise beyond his years and curious about his developing sexuality, having found what he perceived to be love from his Little League baseball coach played by 'Hal Hartley' qv veteran 'Bill Sage' qv at a very early age.
Now, ten years later, Neil is a teenage hustler, nonchalant about the dangerous path his life is taking. Neil's pursuit of love leads him to New York City, while Brian's voyage of self discovery leads him to Neil who helps him to unlock the dark secrets of their past.
Based on the acclaimed novel by 'Scott Heim II ' qv , "Mysterious Skin" explores the hearts and minds of two very different boys who come to find the key to their future happiness lies in the exorcism of their collective demons.
