River's Edge

dir. Tim Hunter
USA, 1986

This is a very strange film indeed, from the slow pace of the first third where despite a high school kid killing another high school kid, no-one seems too bothered, to Crispin Glover's manic/melodramatic acting that someone described as like he's in an entirely different film. Keanu Reeves is in it too, making lots of huffy gestures with his hands and putting his hands in his jean pockets a lot.
