Incredible.
*possible spoilers*
I saw the movie at the London Film Festival on October 26th. It's unbelievably amazing. It's a complete mixture of all three of Harmony's previous movies - Gummo, Julien-Donkey Boy and Mister Lonely.
Gummo: the look.
Julien-Donkey Boy: the handheld camera.
Mister Lonely: the incredibly strange characters.
Trash Humpers takes elements of all of those movies and multiplies then by fifty. Thousand. It's such an incredible film, and not one part of it doesn't seem real. Even when characters are murdered it still seems incredibly real - thanks to the grainy VHS which gives off the perfect atmosphere from the start. It's no Gummo but it's definitely Harmony Korine doing what he does best... pointing and shooting. It's just a really beautiful film. Yeah, people shítting and humping trash is beautiful. Hahaha. The aforementioned "cinematography" was literally amazing. At many points AUTO TRACKING pops up on the screen and it makes you feel like you're actually watching someone's home video which adds to the surrealistic realism of it all... at one point the film stops, rewinds.... and then plays. It really is a truly gorgeous movie that I can't wait to watch again.
10/10.
