‘My Own Private Idaho’

The mainstream success of Gus Van Sant’s darkly comic satire “To Die For,” starring Nicole Kidman as the most ruthless “weather girl” in the history of TV, may trigger wider interest in this idiosyncratic 1991 odyssey of two hustlers, one gay (River Phoenix, right), the other straight (Keanu Reeves, left). This film is so distinctive and effective that it can even sustain a curious, counterproductive inclusion from Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Part I.” (Bravo Tuesday at 8:30 p.m.)
