Harmony Korine's indie drama Gummo (1997) is like no other film. Carisa Glucksman is Dot's adorable sister Helen. The other main actor is Nick Sutton, who has got to be the strangest looking person I've ever seen. All films have a star rating and you can search in a variety of ways for the type of movie you want. He gets to kiss Chloe Sevigny and get tortured by everyone else, so there is that. Filmmaking has become like a process, and it's all garbage. Then, the very next scene is the two brothers play fighting, then suddenly boxing for real. Still reeling from a devastating tornado that ripped through the region 20 years ago, the kids of Xenia, Ohio, are having trouble adjusting.
Gummo is clearly self aware of how odd it is as Korine named it after the forgotten Marx brother Gummo Marx.
For example, two bald muscular brothers are introduced as having killed their own parents.

It won't be long before Bunny Boy, a character wandering through the film in grimy shorts and pink fluffy rabbit ears, is seen on a trash-strewn bridge, spitting and urinating on the highway below in silent protest. Korine goes to Xenia, Ohio, which is devastated by a tornado and films his actors pretending to be the most strange rednecks and impoverished people.
It revels in the filth and squalor of the worst variations of human existence, without giving any true insight or understanding about the predicaments of its pathetic characters.

I assume that this was the major imperative behind making "Gummo," which says much about him as a filmmaker. save hide report.
