NOWNESS: Inside James Franco’s Rebel – Part Two

Following Part One, Matt Black’s exposé of James Franco’s all-star art-film exhibition at Los Angeles’s MOCA continues. In Part Two, Franco further expounds the messy myths surrounding Rebel Without a Cause, shedding light on how it has shaped his edgy remix of the 1950s film. Harmony Korine and Mark Mahoney really shine in this unconventional interpretation of retro teenage rebellion, infusing Franco’s audacious collage with the proper grit and energy that is required of an exhibition of this scale.
