Film Review – Spring Breakers

I'm willing to give writer/director Harmony Korine the special
consideration he requires when he makes a movie. He's an impish artist,
prone to deep free dives into excess while treating stupidity as sport.
He's created interesting pictures during his career, including "Gummo"
and "Julien Donkey-Boy," though even his best work has a way of feeling
like an endless night spent inside an art-school drunk tank, surround by
oddities as nausea sets in early. His latest is "Spring Breakers,"
currently sucking up blog buzz for the provocative way it parades around
former Disney Channel stars in various stages of undress and
intoxication. I wish there was more to the viewing experience than
gyrating flesh and deep inhales, but Korine is trapped in a shtick coma,
attempting to collect random images, poorly-defined fears, and swinging
bare breasts and form it all into cinematic poetry. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
