Street Trash

The nefarious, sleazy mayor of Cape Town wants to melt away the homeless and drug addicts in his corporate shit-topia by injecting them with poison. A group of deranged freedom fighters led by Ronald oppose the fascist and his police state. Ryan Kruger remains true to the delirious tone of his debut FRIED BARRY, delights in invective beyond moral and tasteful boundaries and delights with what is probably the most beautiful, snappy outgrowth of the neglected sub-sub-genre of the “melt movie” for many years. Just as oozy and gooey as the mid-eighties original, Kruger's remake adds gallant, deeper political satire, making STREET TRASH a socially critically underpinned fun-fest that would bring tears of joy to the face of even a master of the trade like Lloyd Kaufman.
