Description
Actress and filmmaker Asia Argento directed this faithful screen adaptation of J.T. Leroy's novel/memoir, which documents one boy's truly harrowing road to adulthood. Jeremiah is the seven-year-old son of Sarah, an unstable and unwed mother who abandoned her son and left him to be raised by foster parents. Jeremiah has come to love his guardians, and is devastated when Sarah arrives at their doorstep, demanding her child back. Threatening Jeremiah with torture if he tries to run away, Sarah introduces her young son to drugs and encourages her one-night-stand paramours to help "discipline" her son when she feels his behavior is inappropriate. Jeremiah continues a difficut and problematic life with his mother, her various partners, and his grandparents, members of a fundamentalist Christian sect which emphasizes child discipline that's strict to the point of abuse.
