It's 1985: Can a blue-haired punk find happiness in the hometown of the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir? For a while, angry young Stevo (Lillard) turns his quest
for total anarchy into a grungy, giddy, randomly violent rave.
Then reality creeps up and, well, it bites. Writer-director
James Merendino grew up punk in Salt Lake City, and his
still-bad attitude fuels SLC Punk. But there's also irony, wit,
and just a whiff of wisdom in this vivid evocation of a lost
rebel cause.
Reel Goodies (0:16) Stevo stands in the middle of a
mall and delivers a fiercely funny, direct-to-the-camera rant
against punk posers.
The Last Detail Moving from the world of
Ramones and Dead Kennedys, Lillard takes on Cole Porter and
Irving Berlin in Kenneth Branagh's upcoming '30s musical version
of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.
