The Smell Of Us
Director: Larry Clark
Writer: Mathieu Landais
Producers: Morgane Production’s Gérard Lacroix, Polyesters’ Pierre-Paul Puljiz
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Michael Pitt, Alex Martin, Lucas Ionesco
Larry Clark is back again, and quite quickly, since his last film was 2012’s Marfa Girl. The often controversial filmmaker turns his sights to skateboarders, which automatically puts us in mind of Gus Van Sant’s Paranoid Park. A cast led by Michael Pitt lends to the intrigue, as well as the presence of Lucas Ionesco, son of Eva Ionesco and grandson of Irina Ionesco, an infamous family in France (and Eva Ionesco directed a 2011 film called My Little Princess starring Isabelle Huppert, which documented her childhood as a nude model for her mother’s photographs).
Gist: Follows a group of self-destructive skateboarders in Paris.
Release Date: Clark’s last film, 2012’s Marfa Girl won top honors at the Rome Film Fest,...

The directorial equivalent of that creepy guy at your family reunion is back! Although some of his work has generated dicsussion to this day, Larry Clark hasn’t made a standalone film since 2006′s little-seen Wassup Rockers, and his public profile — something that was never all too high to begin with — has been reduced to virtually nothing. To put it simply: the guy disappeared.
But MK2 (via ThePlaylist) spoke with documentarians Gérard Lacroix and Pierre-Paul Puljiz, both of whom revealed that they’ve been in communication with the director and, as of right now, are trying to generate some life on his next project, entitled The Smell of Us. It’s not very hard to determine what such a smell might be — well, maybe what the specific… no, that’s too much — but, other than some problems with making the project “uncensored,” any other information is not available. (Whatever idea...

Looks like American enfant terrible Larry Clark is finally stepping up to the plate after a long absence. Independent French cinema group mk2 recently sat down with documentary producers Gérard Lacroix and Pierre-Paul Puljiz, and the two revealed they would be involved in the new project from the often-controversial filmmaker behind "Kids," entitled "The Smell Of Us." Puljiz, who centered doc "Larry Clark, Great American Rebel" on the director, met with Lacroix after he expressed desire in adapting Clark's novel "Tulsa."
There's not much to go on in terms of plot, but the idea stems from poet Mathieu Landais whom he met during an exhibition in Paris. Mostly the producers speak of their trouble getting the script to a point where it wouldn't have to be censored; an obvious hurdle for those at all familiar with the director's work ("Ken Park" starts with a public suicide and ends with a...
