A truly disturbing film of an abusive friendship
Brad Renfro, left, and Nick Stahl in Bully.
by Anthony Glassman
Cleveland--The journey to discover oneself is at the heart of two extraordinary films that the Cleveland Cinematheque will be showing in November.
The first film, Bully, is from Larry Clark. the director of KIDS and Gummo. Shot in a stark documentary style and with dialogue consisting primarily of "fuck" and "shit," Bully looks at the 1993 murder in Florida of Bobby Kent (Nick Stahl), the abusive best friend of Marty Puccio (Brad Renfro).
Their friendship revolves around Marty's complete subservience to Bobby, as well as Bobby's own not-quite-latent sexual attraction to Marty.
After Marty starts dating Lisa (Rachel Miner), they get increasingly upset at the way Bobby treats him, and decide to kill him. Among the motley crew they organize to do the deed is Hitman (returning Larry Clark find Leo Fitzpatrick), a gangster wanna-be, the reluctant Derek (Daniel Franzese), the terrified Heather (Kelli Garner), Lisa's best friend Ali (Bijou Phillips) and her drug-addled boyfriend

Drugs, sex, violence and some really nice tush shots combine in Clark`s hands to create a truly disturbing film
Bully will play November 2 and 3 at 9:45, and on November 4 at 4 pm. No one under 18 will be admitted, and for good reason.
A week later, the Cinematheque brings the French film The Adventures of Felix to Cleveland. In the movie. Felix, a gay Arab who has just discovered that he is HIVpositive, decides to go in search of the father he has never known. Along the way, in segments titled after family members, he meets various people who give him more and more of a sense of self.
For those who love the Cinematheque most because of the foreign and art films it brings, too small even to play a full run at the art houses, this will be the catch of the month. The Adventures of Felix will play Nov. 8 at 8 pm, and Nov. 11 at 4:15 pm.
The Cinematheque is located inside the Cleveland Institute of Art, 11141 East Blvd., in Cleveland's University Circle area. It can be reached at 216-421-7450, or online at http://www.cia.edu/cinematheque.
