Italy released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Italian ( Subtitles ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Trash, which follows Flesh in the Paul Morrissey-Andy Warhol-Joe Dallesandro trilogy, is every bit as off-putting as its predecessor. Trash, however, is a step up from Flesh in terms of its technical side; while still far from "professional," its camerawork and sound are more controlled and purposeful. It also gives the impression of featuring a more coherent plot, but in truth it is still a series of vignettes loosely tied to a motivating factor. However, there is considerably more action in Trash. There is also a magnificent chemistry between Dallesandro and Holly Woodlawn, who gives a love-it-or-hate-it performance that is full of bizarre life. Dallesandro is once again a low-key performer, at times irritating, but the guilelessness of his performance is perfect in the context of the film. The general level of acting is also appreciably higher than in Flesh, with memorable turns from Michael Sklar and Andrea Feldman. Many will be turned off by the film, but those cultists who embrace it do so honestly -- there's a raw fascination to the film, a method to Morrissey's madness. He's not interested in creating a "good" film; he's interested in creating a personal film that bears an indelible stamp, and in that he succeeds brilliantly.

SOMETHING-FOR-NOTHING
Amusing movie about White welfare parasites; possessing no greater ambition than in wondering where the next heroin fix is going to come from and/or the next aspect of their culture they are going to whine about. This satire reflects a Western culture fixated on something-for-nothing to often telling effect.The central conceit of a young stud - that all the girls fancy - being unable to satisfy anyone sexually because his heroin addiction causes impotence is repeated with varying degrees of success by an actor who is, himself, a sex symbol. (This proves that he is neither as conceited nor as concerned about his public image as are so many other male stars.)The various episodes are variously funny and many scenes require a strong stomach to accept the repeated use of syringes for non-medicinal intravenous hard-drug use.
