yeah, this was amazing. i loved it for all the reasons you mentioned. something about the editing, the "circling back" to specific significant moments such as the robbery, really allowed the movie's images to get lodged in my memory. i don't have a lot to say by way of "interpretation" of this movie, but i seems like a very accomplished manifestation of korine's distinctive vision. also the use of "everytime" by britney spears was incredible.

Trying to get a friend out to see this this week. I've assured him it's not because I'm a lecherous old man, I'm just dedicated to transgressive outsider cinema.

I found this pretty tedious. It wasn't funny/campy (not that it tried to be), but neither was it anywhere close to shocking/menacing. It felt suggestive of other things--a bit of Manson, a bit of Sport from Taxi Driver, a lot of Wild Things--and the early scenes, before they left, caught a mood of sorts. Franco's good. I didn't know how to take the sledgehammer irony of the various calls home. This was my first Harmony Korine film--maybe context would add something I missed.

This is one of the most important films I've seen in a long time. Wonder how it would do in a double billing with Crossroads.

just watched, dug it. most of what needs saying's been said, e.g. telephone thing and pat finn a few posts back. disconnected, beautifully photographed, fluctuating between horrible banality and seductive fantasy, good shit.

i loved it but harmony still doesnt seem to know how not to make an ending jarring. i loved the ambience of the film as a whole but when it got to the conclusion, it seemed to ruin the whole mood to try and create a proper narrative conclusion - seemed out of sync with the not-really-that-much-narrative feel of what came before. needs to play in a double bill with the bling ring (which is better btw)

The blogger Voyou Desoeuvre writes that the film “produces visually the affective structure of a dubstep track … sharply switching between an ethereal straining at the limits of reality and a brutal pulverising of it produces a kind of transcendence, or an aesthetic effect that hints towards transcendence, at least.”
