Well, what would it be?

Kids? Wassup Rockers? Bully? Ken Park?

Or do you simply write him off as a weird nutter with a fascination for young kids perfoming 'night time' acts?

On a side note, is anyone a fan of Harmony Korine's stuff? I found Gummo pretty thought provoking. Unsure whether I enjoyed it. Anyone seen Misteer Lonely? It looks fucking amazing.

oh i want to see Mister Lonely sooooo bad!

it was "released" in Canada yesterday, but sadly none of the Winnipeg theatres are showing it :'(
i think it will be one of my favourite movies ever once i do see it..but this is only speculation.


Kids I think

i think it treads the line between thought provoking and shocking the best out of all his output. stuff like ken park just seemed shocking for no real reason, i couldn't see any kind of coherency between all the sub plots. Whereas Gummo's clearly a commentary on the deep south in America, Ken Park just seemed to follow a group of people who were utterly fucked up for no discernible reason. Still need to see Wassup Rockers though. And looking forward to Mister Lonely, if it comes out here at all

Kids is great.


Larry Clark?

Wasnt he accused of being a kiddie-fiddler?


yes

i think he was accused, never charged.


Kids

by a mile


I think that the black midget in Gummo

was in the hostel I was staying in in Hollywood. Pretty cool


That

wank scene in Ken Park is pretty disturbing.


Kids

with Bully a close second


mister lonely is great

i love harmony korine.


how

did you see it? I can't find it for shit.


it was showing in edinburgh

like a month or so ago...


He is responsible for one of the worst films ever made...

Teenage Caveman.
You really need to see it to believe how bad a film it is.

Re; Mister Lonely, its ok, but not great. Still good to see Harmony Korine making films instead of shotting smack.
