Search: Directed by Harmony Korine

Hollywood is full of tales of people like Moondog who discover the true meaning of life when they get sober. Korine isn't that naive.

Fawns completes the troika with a ringing emotional pop.

Gummo rewards repeated viewings like little else; there is so much to be gleaned from every vignette and even more from the film as a whole.

The film's saving grace are the performances.

The glorious sight of a flying nun, an image Korine has said was one of his inspirations for the film, is both a moving and a joyous one.

While there is much to admire about Spring Breakers in terms of visual aesthetic and directorial style, those aspects are undermined by a run of the mill narrative not nearly as subversive as it appears to want to be.

The film is a purely visceral experience, which by and large does everything it sets out to do – repel, amuse, horrify, bore – with a sickening but punk-rock panache.
