Less Than Zero

• Drama
• Crime

Sun-drenched Beverly Hills cloaks a chilling emptiness in this stark 1980s drama, where the privileged descend into a spiral of self-destruction fueled by cocaine and aimless hedonism. Beyond a cautionary tale of drug addiction, *Less Than Zero* portrays a haunting sense of disconnection and moral decay amongst those with everything, radiating a pervasive melancholy as a college student confronts the unraveling lives of his former lover and best friend. It’s a film less about the shock of drug use and more focused on the numbing emotional void beneath the surface of wealth – a portrait of youthful malaise punctuated by the unnerving realization that escape is often illusory, and connection increasingly fragile. The narrative lingers on the quiet desperation and unspoken anxieties consuming these young adults, creating a deeply disheartening yet strangely captivating exploration of privileged ennui.
