My Own Private Idaho (1991) Directed by Gus Van Sant Rated R
River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves are professional hustlers prowling the streets of Portland. Phoenix searches desperately for the mother who appears during his epileptic black outs while Reeves bides his time, waiting for a sizable inheritance from a father he seeks to annoy with his daily tricks. From Portland to Idaho to Italy, Van Sant, Phoenix and Reeves create an unrequited love story road movie like no other that countless indie directors have been trying to top since.
