Love this film. Did that sequel ever get made?

would love to read a french review/essay on this film. french film people must love it to death.

cahiers du cinema top ten that year:

1. Stranger By The Lake (Alain Guiraudie)
2. Spring Breakers (Harmony Korine)
3. Blue Is The Warmest Color (Abdellatif Kechiche)
4. Gravity (Alfonso Cuaron)
5. A Touch of Sin (Jia Zhang-Ke)
6. Lincoln (Steven Spielberg)
7. Jealousy (Philippe Garrel)
8. Nobody’s Daughter Haewon (Hong Sang-Soo)
9. You and the Night (Yann Gonzalez)
10. La bataille de Solférino (Justine Triet)

looks about right

I hope The Trap plays at the local movie house. It probably won't though. I never get to see his movies at the actual movies.

Hesitate to re-open this thread--I know what the next three posts will be--but I wanted to see how this would hold up alongside American Honey, which it obviously influenced. I called it tedious upthread; I think American Honey's far superior, but I found Korine's film somewhat more interesting this time. Franco (nervy performance--he risks coming across as absolutely ridiculous, and I'm sure he does for many people, but I like what he does; Taxi Driver's Sport, definitely), the photography, and the dreaminess of the early scenes are good. Its presentation of generational vacuity is probably just as valid as The Bling Ring or Palo Alto. (They all have at least one character who's set apart--I guess that's Selena Gomez here.) Past that, I don't know. I didn't grow up with MTV's spring break series--maybe that'd provide some context I don't have. American Honey moves me; at best, Spring Breakers points towards something more, and settles for repetitions that are supposed to be hypnotic or profound or something. For me, they're just repetitive.

SPRAAAAAANGGGG BRAAKKKKKKKE

One good thing about this movie is it showed franco was so bad it helped him get less roles

And thus we never hear about him anymore

Thank you korine

My conclusion too. I can't persuade myself to watch Springbreakers again, though.

It's like Andrea Arnold saw this, really responded to something in it, then wondered if you could do a variation on it (helped by finding her source material in the newspaper) with a lot of feeling and empathy in place of a concept.

I sometimes like to imagine what a Harmony Korine movie about Reading Week would be like. Nubile young women put on an extra sweater before trudging to the Second Cup to cram for midterms...?

I thought you meant Reading festival and was quite confused

I'll always remember going to see this film one afternoon, leaving the cinema in a strange, dream-like state and then getting home to the news that Maggie Thatcher was dead. A perfect day.

Forevvvvvvveeeeerrrr

haha yessss this was amazing, was shocked/disappointed to not find the footage or any similar commentary on it online (basically he talks about how his wife is 26 and "we met about 10 years ago [akward pause], actually we met 8 years ago")
