Oliver Stone
cult club presents: Natural Born Killers
don't be moody, come see woody
Last month, we learned that getting a website back online requires three things: patience, technical support and, apparently, a human sacrifice. Fortunately, we got our website back online and were simultaneously granted with the resurrection of our programmer Marta. She's now returned with another killer cult banger: Natural Born Killers (Oliver Stone, 1994). So buckle up bitches.
A violent crime spree becomes a media-fuelled spectacle in Oliver Stone’s provocative satire on American culture, celebrity obsession and the sensationalism of mass media. Mickey and Mallory Knox, two young lovers turned serial killers, leave a trail of blood across the country, transforming themselves into folk heroes as television turns their murders into prime-time entertainment. Blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction through a chaotic mix of visual styles, dark humour and relentless violence, Natural Born Killers exposes a society that condemns violence while simultaneously consuming, glorifying and profiting from it.
