Wanton 'Project X' leaves a bitter aftertaste

Be young, be foolish and be deliriously happy. That’s the mantra of ‘Project X’, a raucous comedy about a high school student’s birthday party which descends into chaos when hundreds of kids turn up uninvited and run amok in the teenager’s leafy North Pasadena neighbourhood.

British music video director Nima Nourizadeh captures the carnage through the lenses of assorted video cameras, mobile phones, CCTV and police surveillance helicopters that happen to witness each outrageous incident.
