"My Own Private Idaho" is a 1991 independent-film from director Gus Van Sant that stars Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix. Hustlers Mike and Scott have a strange bond that leads them to Mike's home state Idaho and eventually to Italy. Their relationship is riddled with drama and sexual tension, as Scott is only a hustler as a type of rebellion, whereas hustling is Mike's only means of support. The film is loosely based on Shakespeare's "Henry VI." |
