Quirky drama from director Gus van Zant, loosely based on Shakespeare's 'Henry IV, Part 1'. The story revolves around two Seattle street hustlers played by River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. Mike (Phoenix) is a sensitive, gay narcoleptic who dreams of his long-lost mother during his frequent unplanned naps, while Scott (Reeves) is the self-avowedly straight rebellious son of the mayor of Portland. Together, the two friends embark on a journey to find Mike's mother.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Wherever, whatever, have a nice day... River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves star in director Gus Van Sant's haunting tale of two young street hustlers: Mike Waters (Phoenix), a sensitive narcoleptic who dreams of the mother who abandoned him, and Scott Favor (Reeves), wayward son of the mayor of Portland and the object of Mike's desire. Navigating a volatile world of junkies, thieves and johns, Mike takes Scott on a quest from the grungy streets to the open highways to the Pacific Northwest in search of an elusive place called 'home'. Groundbreaking and visually dazzling, 'My Own Private Idaho' is a stirring look at unrequited love and life at society's margins.
