 OZ CINEMA.com : Reviews : The Heartbreak Kid

 Eye - Onscreen - 08.19.99
When we meet Ari (Alex Dimitriades) -- a handsome, disaffected young Australian of Greek descent -- he's already careening through life with his Walkman blasting, occasionally pausing briefly to drink, dance, do drugs and have violent, anonymous sex with any guy he finds even vaguely attractive.
Kokkinos' fluid, hectic visuals combine with Dimitriades' no-holds-barred performance to create one of this year's most sensual tragic spectacles -- a tour de force on a thousand different levels with no easy happy endings in sight.
You may not enjoy Head On's implications, but I guarantee you won't be able to look away.
