| Description |
Described by many as the Asian American answer to BOYZ N THE HOOD, director Juwan Chung's BABY is a disturbing and dark look at urban gang life in East Los Angeles. It's gritty and ultra-violent style will make audiences grimace and wonder what's next for child-gangster Baby played by newcomer David Hyunh. It is obvious that no one puts Baby in a corner, as he defies and defiles those in authority while silently struggling with his lost childhood. At a young age, Baby is a witness to a murder at the hands of a Chinese gang. Instead of killing Baby to cover their tracks, they recruit him to a life of drugs, sex, and violence that ultimately changes his life forever.
BABY has got to be one of the most unforgettable films of this years festival, as its brutal violence is tempered with quiet scenes of loneliness and despair. The films acting is top notch, especially Hyunh who plays the motherless Baby.
