Totally Fucked Up (censored title Totally F***ed Up in many references and publicity material) is a 1993 American drama film written and directed by Gregg Araki. The first installment of Araki's Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy, it is considered a seminal entry in the New Queer Cinema genre.
Totally Fucked Up chronicles the dysfunctional lives of six gay adolescents who have formed a family unit and struggle to get along with each other and with life in the face of various major obstacles. Araki classified it as "a rag-tag story of the fag-and-dyke teen underground....a kinda cross between avant-gardeexperimental cinema and a queer John Hughes flick."
Plot
The plot is concerned with six teenagers, four of whom are gay men, the other two a "traditional" lesbian couple. The plot is spliced with segments of other material and occasional tangents not central to the plot, but it mainly follows a linear structure. Araki has constructed the film in 15 parts, which is described in the opening titles.

First of the Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, Writer and Director Gregg Araki's TOTALLY F***ED UP. Releasing for Video on Demand on Friday, September 13th.
A delirious mix of punk nihilism and deadpan irony, the first film in Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy puts an audaciously queer spin on Jean-Luc Godard’s classic Masculin féminin. Across fifteen jagged episodes, Totally F***ed Up plunges headlong into the lives of a group of queer, disaffected Los Angeles teenagers who form a kind of makeshift family as they navigate desire and heartbreak, societal and familial rejection, and the alienation of growing up gay in an era of relentless moralizing. Both a defiantly raw anthem of outsiderhood and a furious reckoning with all-American homophobia, Araki’s answer to the 1980s teen comedy capture...

Three by Gregg Araki - Criterion Channel Teaser
Fearlessly raw, angry, and unrestrained, the films of underground auteur Gregg Araki give voice to the angst and alienation of queer youth everywhere. Emerging as one of the edgiest and most vital voices of 1990s New Queer Cinema movement with radical provocations like THE LIVING END and TOTALLY F***ED UP, Araki channeled the disillusionment and despair of the AIDS era into transgressive, stylistically explosive howls of rage in the face of a homophobic society. With his haunting drama MYSTERIOUS SKIN, Araki won widespread acclaim and cemented his status as one of independent cinema’s most uncompromising chroniclers of the outsider experience.

Like the leaves that fall off of a tree, I know that love has just left me. I can give in to being estranged As the branches wilt and the colours change. And the fish that wash up on the shore, Who won't swim in the sea anymore, Are like those thousands of wasted days Upon those million grains of sand. And like the leaves that pile to decay These little deaths happen every day. Maybe our love was just a cliché And not unique because it happened to me. Let my life blow away in the wind, Carry those old dreams far from me. I'll just be alone and pass the time. I'm better off, it was too much, A little death from every touch. I had to run, I had to leave, I'm dead inside but I can breathe. Courtesy of lyricshall.com And I see now that it was me, I've lost my love and my family. But let the trees and the sea feel contrite, Convince myself that it's alright. Better to smile and take the blame Than to hold on to the truth and the pain. I don't want love if it will hurt me again. I'm better off, it was too much, A little death from every touch. I had to run, I had to leave, I'm dead inside but I can breathe. [x2] I'm better off, it was too much, A little death from every touch. I had to run, I had to leave, I'm dead inside but I can breathe. The leaves that fall never grow back, Their colours fade and turn to black. Forget the things you used to love,
