His best friend, played by Keanu Reeves, shares the same line of work, but has a more prosperous road laid out for his future. Together, the two navigate the tumultuous streets of the Pacific Northwest. Influenced by Shakespeareโ€™s โ€œHenriad,โ€ MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO is a haunting and visually stunning tale from director Gus Van Sant that captures a queer romance on the margins of society.
