Synopsis

Groundbreaking and visually dazzling, 'My Own Private Idaho' is a stirring look at unrequited love and life at society's margins. This very loose adaptation of ‘Henry IV’ brings highly theatrical Shakespearean speech to the lives of two Seattle street hustlers. River Phoenix stars as a Mike, narcoleptic male prostitute, who falls for Keanu Reeves’ Scott. Scott is the rebellious rich kid, who lives life to disappoint his father. The film follows the pair as they travel to Idaho and onto Italy in search of Mike’s mother.

Re-released as a special 2-DVD set.
