Rare early 90s Teenager Movie

This is Cinema (92 movies items)

"Creo que una adaptación a miniserie no le vendría mal, pero de todos modos creo que es una película bastante imponente en su mensaje de rebeldía juvenil. Tiene estilo y a su vez importancia en su mensaje explícito de tener una voz en un mundo con instituciones de falsos ideales. Es una temática que se repite en los años 90, pero lo que tiene de diferente es como el protagonista escala desde el modesto entretenimiento estúpido a una coherente voz de la juventud sin salirse de rosca como q"
