Synopsis

Watch: My Own Private Idaho 1991 123movies, Full Movie Online – Mike Waters lives on the street and befriends the somewhat older and streetwise Scott Favor who shows him what is necessary to survive. Waters suffers from narcolepsy and can fall asleep at any moment and in almost any circumstance. Favor comes from a rich family and is rebelling against his own background. They travel together extensively – Waters is driven by the need to find his biological mother – and spend time in Italy. Later in life however, Favor has joined mainstream society and has little time for his old friend..
Plot: In this loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Henry IV,” Mike Waters is a gay hustler afflicted with narcolepsy. Scott Favor is the rebellious son of a mayor. Together, the two travel from Portland, Oregon to Idaho and finally to the coast of Italy in a quest to find Mike’s estranged mother. Along the way they turn tricks for money and drugs, eventually attracting the attention of a wealthy benefactor and sexual deviant.

Reviews:

Very much a love it or hate it film, really liked it myself
Having liked/loved some of Gus Van Sant’s other work (i.e. ‘Good Will Hunting’), as someone who thinks that Keanu Reeves has given good performances in his career and who absolutely adores River Phoenix in ‘Stand By Me’ (one of the greatest child performances ever to me), as well as being intrigued by the story’s themes, ‘My Own Private Idaho’ quickly went on my ever growing “to see” list.

Finally seeing ‘My Own Private Idaho’ was well worth the wait and watch. It is definitely understandable as to why it won’t click, and hasn’t done, with some, it is a very love it or hate it film and has its uneven moments. However it is even easier to see why people find so appealing about it, namely the acting, how the film looks and how the themes are dealt with.

Getting the faults out of the way, ‘My Own Private Idaho’s’ biggest fault is the middle act. Here the film does meander, with some dull stretches and narratively it becomes less cohesive. The Shakespearean dialogue is sometimes clever and funny, but too often it also jars and comes over clumsily.

However, ‘My Own Private Idaho’ is filled with exquisite images, the cinematography being both dream-like and gritty and the scenery equally to die for. Van Sant’s direction also creates this hypnotising dream-like effect to the visuals and how the story is told. The music is hauntingly downbeat and full of pathos.

‘My Own Private Idaho’s’ script is not perfect, but much of it is poignant and thoughtful. Despite a meandering middle act, much of the story makes the most of its daring themes and how they’re dealt with ensures that the film is as relevant and resonant today as it was 26 years ago. It’s told gently, but also with a grit and pathos that makes the film unsettling and moving.

Keanu Reeves’ performance has been criticised, personally belong in the camp who thinks that he gives one of his better and more natural performances that breaks the mould. There is no doubting however that River Phoenix’s is infinitely better, an extraordinary turn that’s even better than that in ‘Stand By Me’ and showed potential for him to be one of the finest actors of his generation if he had not died so tragically so young. They are supported by an electric supporting cast, riotous William Richert and creepy Udo Kier being the scene stealers.

Overall, not for everybody but for me despite its imperfections there was a lot to admire here. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Not my thing
I tried to vibe with this but I just couldn’t, the plot seemed rush and I just couldn’t connect with characters. The filmmaking is different so I appreciate that about it. Both leads were great and I really loved River Phoenix’s acting, especially the narcolapsy part. He could’ve become a world class actor, RIP.
