SummaryThe film “kids” is a raw account of an urban adolescence focusing on experimentation with sex, drugs, liquor, and violence. The account examines these issues at their absolute worst. One of the issues that the film focuses on is adolescent sexuality. The opening scene depicts a thirteen year old girl losing her virginity to a sixteen year old boy, without any protection or any significant relationship. Adolescent sexuality is a truth that society has a tendency to avoid. Many questions arise in regards to adolescent sexuality. The question of sexual education stimulates an opinionated debate of whether abstinence should be promoted or whether an education on safe sexual practices should be utilized.

SummaryRomeo loved Juliet, Juliet loved Romeo, and in the end, they both died to prove it. Neither the Capulets nor the Montagues could understand such love, so neither could allow such love. Romeo and Juliet died to prove it. Yet centuries later, William Shakespeare’s darker tragedy is still revered as one of the greatest love stories of all time. The politics of Elizabethan England that pitted family against family are not so prominent in the modern Western world, but the love created between Romeo and Juliet, a love that existed outside the boundaries of societal acceptance, still exists. Many homosexual youths stand on the edge of a lifelong battle for the right to love. But the only love they can ever hope for is one born of loneliness, of desperation, of suffering: the love of Romeo and Juliet; the love destined for end. The love that shatters the very sanctity that love has been expected to preserve. Léa Pool’s Lost and Delirious paints an accurate yet painful picture of a lesbian love torn apart by the predisposed expectations of a private high school. It paints the picture of two girls striving for an absolute acceptance that can never be. But the film is more than the tragic portrayal of an adolescent homosexual relationship; it is the tragic portrayal of this relationship as the embodiment of romantic love.
