Wild College Boys is this interesting little drama from '82 that dives deep into the psyche of a high school student grappling with some heavy stuff—depression, isolation, you name it. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing you to really sit in the discomfort alongside the protagonist. It's not about flashy effects or big performances; rather, it captures that raw, awkward energy of youth facing the harsh realities of life and missed opportunities. The atmosphere is quite somber, with a lingering sense of resentment that hangs over the characters, especially as his friends move on to their next chapters. It's a unique piece that stands apart for its honest portrayal of adolescent struggles.
Wild College Boys is somewhat of a hidden gem in the drama genre, with limited home video releases over the years, making it a bit hard to find. Collector interest seems to have grown recently, thanks to its exploration of themes that resonate even today. You might come across a few VHS tapes floating around, but quality prints are scarce, which definitely adds to the allure for collectors who appreciate lesser-known films with depth.
