Go! (1999) | The Best of 1999 presented by Trash Cinema

Trash Cinema finds treasure with forgotten films from 1999. These movies have been chosen to screen on the big screen in Berlin.  

Trash Cinema digs deep into the cinematic treasures of a year often hailed as one of the best in film history. While blockbusters like The Matrix and Fight Club defined the mainstream, 1999 also saw the release of numerous underrated gems that might have slipped under the radar.

These films, though less commercially successful, gained cult followings and critical reappraisal over the years. Whether it’s the frantic energy of Go, the dark satire of Election, or the existential musings of Being John Malkovich, these movies capture the creative spirit and boundary-pushing innovation that made 1999 such a remarkable year for cinema.

Audiences today, fueled by a wave of Y2K nostalgia, are revisiting these films not just for their entertainment value but for the unique window they provide into the cultural and cinematic landscape of the late 90s. Trash Cinema Vol. 2 offers a rare opportunity to experience these films on the big screen, celebrating the overlooked and the underappreciated.

Go! (1999)

presented by Trash Cinema 

Within one 24 hour period, three sets of friends in three dysfuctional situations will collide in the raucous Los Angeles underground party scene. It’s Christmas Eve and Ronna and Claire are supermarket checkout girls desperate to score some quick rent money. It’s a simple plan — all they need to do is acquire 20 hits of ecstasy from Simon and his drug dealing pal Todd and turn around and sell them for a small profit to Adam and Zack, two soap opera stars looking to hit the night club scene in style. But alas, nothing is so simple. Ronna will soon find herself at the center of a police sting, Claire will be taken hostage, Simon will be shot which will make Todd quite upset, and Zack and Adam will find themselves not only in hot water, but at one bizarre Christmas party.
