The Long Weekend (O' Despair) is a 1989 American drama film directed by Gregg Araki. The film follows three couples, one gay, one lesbian and one heterosexual, spending a weekend together.
Araki shot The Long Weekend in black and white on a budget of $5,000.
The New York Times reviewer Vincent Canby congratulated Araki for making an attractive-appearing film on a minuscule budget but found the film hard to watch. Faulting the film's "extremely self-conscious, neo-sitcom dialogue", Canby felt that Araki's ingenuity as a filmmaker was not matched by his talent.
The Long Weekend (O' Despair) won the 1989 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Independent-Experimental Award.
