Based on performance artist Eric Bogosian's one-man stage show, SEX, DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL provides an oppurtunity for both Bogosian and director John McNaughton to do what they do best: shed a jittery light on the darker reaches of the human psyche. On a bare stage, with the benefit of only a few props, Bogosian uses his extraordinary skills as a mimic to create 10 painful, hilarious characters, including a remorseless killer, a pompous British pop star, a simpering beggar, an unscrupulous lawyer, a street punk, and a New Jersey millionaire in love with the grotesque trappings of suburban life. McNaughton, who shot the film over the course of several live appearances, effectively illuminates Bogosian's protean wizardry, creating a stinging, hilarious, and disturbing cinematic journey. Featuring the same kind of tiny budget and razor-sharp wit as his first film, HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, SEX, DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL shows what gigantic things McNaughton can do when holding only a little cash and a camera.
