“The Loveless” is the feature debut of both its star, Willem Dafoe, and its directors, Monty Montgomery (producer, David Lynch’s “Wild At Heart”) and future Academy Award®-winner Kathryn Bigelow (“Near Dark”).
A motorcycle gang roars into a small southern town en route to the Daytona races, unnerving and angering the locals with their standoffish attitude and disrespect for social niceties. When gang member Vance (Dafoe), hooks up with sportscar-driving Telena, he incurs the wrath of the girl’s father, setting the gang on a collision course with the rest of the town as simmering tensions boil over into violent retribution.
