Desolation Angels

This is a difficult movie to explain because so much of it is about a variety of human flaws that have nothing to do with date rape, per se. The victim is unwilling to press charges, the rapist is still welcome in her circle of friends, and her boyfriend is stymied because everybody is treating him worse than the bad guy, just to begin with. It's incredible that this unfolds in such a realistic and daring way. In some ways, the victim is the one you'll understand the least, and the rapist has emotional issues that make his crime pale by comparison. There's a pivotal scene between the lead actors in a kitchen that is as filled with potential trauma as the game of Russian Roulette in The Deer Hunter. A great modern tragedy.
