CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED - The Story of LOON



The flower children in this film are young rotten, racist & rude. 

Folie à deux (/fɒˈli ə ˈduː/; pronunciation: ​[fɔli a dø];
French for "When Two People Go Insane Together''.

At the core of the film LOON lies a folie à deux relationship between two cousins, 16 year old Charlie Sheen (who wishes to be called 'Keith' - but nobody ever calls him) and his poison minded 18 year old cousin Georgia Sheen; who's aggressive, cunning, sexual personality has hypnotised her younger cousin into doing anything. 

''I wanted the film to reflect a prescription medication weekend, it's shook up in a black & white salad bowl''.
Fabrizio Federico

Charlie is on prescription medication (you decide what his diagnosis is) and his mother (a serial killer obsessed twin) is his gate keeper. He is a walking ball of karma. Surrounded by his twisted family (the whole street is populated by the Sheen family) Charlie's behavior is becoming darker. 

Charlie is dumb, so dumb in fact that it fools people. 
He has become obsessed with learning how to play the drums and to mirror his mod teen idol Keith Moon, one of the wildest drummers of the 60's and who's generation experimented with the unraveling of social and conventional modes.

An experimental melodrama with presidential assassination bulletins, Charlie is a kleptomaniac and a compulsive liar living in an incestuous tight knit family who have created a pillow world for him to sink deeper into his lifestyle. Light, love and protection are missing in both their worlds. 
While unemployed his loner life is largely based on crime, daydreaming and pleasing Georgia's superior superwoman Nietzsche mind. 

Charlie is fucked......but how fucked?
