Harmony Korine - Director

Brit, Candy, Cotty, and Faith have been best friends since grade school. They live together in a boring college dorm and are hungry for adventure.
All they have to do is save enough money for spring break to get their shot at having some real fun. A serendipitous encounter with rapper "Alien"
promises to provide the girls with all the thrill and excitement they could hope for. With the encouragement of their new friend, it soon becomes unclear
how far the girls are willing to go to experience a spring break they will never forget.

Four sexy college girls plan to fund their spring break getaway by burglarizing a fast food shack. But that’s only the beginning. During a night of partying, the girls hit a roadblock when they are arrested on drug charges. Hung over and clad only in bikinis, the girls appear before a judge but are bailed out unexpectedly by Alien (James Franco), an infamous local thug who takes them under his wing and leads them on the wildest spring break trip in history. Rough on the outside but with a soft spot inside, Alien wins over the hearts of the young spring breakers, and leads them on a spring break they never could have imagined.

Quote:

PROGRAMMER'S NOTE

The overly bright sunshine begins to hurt your eyes. The semi-nude bodies grind in a tequila-fuelled haze. A waft of violence floats through the atmosphere until it dominates the scene, aware of its hold on everything and everyone. You feel all-powerful and totally alone. This is spring break in Florida, captured through the transformative lens of Harmony Korine’s imagination.

Korine’s impressive canon of films poetically chronicles the minor heroics and self-aggran-dizing intensity of marginalians, unseen, ignored and dismissed by a willfully ignorant world. In Spring Breakers, his attention turns to four female co-eds (Ashley Benson, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine) in an unnamed college town. Desperate to hit the beach, but flat broke, they rob a coffee shop with fake weapons, steal a car, head south and start to party hard. Their fun gets rudely interrupted when the cops bust into their apartment and find things young girls should not be enjoying. Locked up with no bail money, they despair until a local petty gangster (James Franco) springs them. Two of the girls stay with him as his entourage and, ultimately, his hitmen; while the other two drop out, exhausted, disoriented and longing to experience that rush of freedom one more time.

Spring Breakers is Korine’s first film since Mister Lonely to feature professional actors. He challenges his impressive young cast in unexpected ways, with long, seemingly improvised takes and a demand for shifting tones of sweetness and menace.

The film lands on the more narratively linear end of Korine’s career and has moments that recall each of his previous films, especially the virtuosic tableaux of Gummo and the agonizing desperation of Mister Lonely. But Spring Breakers also brings a few new tricks to the table, including remarkable shifts in mood and a breathtaking cinematographic confidence; there are signature moments of montage in this film that will influence generations to come.

Harmony Korine thinks in pictures that no one else could even dream up.

Thanks for the new thread Erin!

cookie~monster · 08-18-2012, 10:58 PM

no problem...I just went with the suggested title on the previous page

Less Than Perfect · 08-18-2012, 11:04 PM

It's a good one!

We may need to update the OP though.

cookie~monster · 08-18-2012, 11:07 PM

we could update it a bit

but I was kind of hoping we could re-do it after Venice/Toronto

I'm pretty sure we will get some kind of official poster/trailer shortly before or after plus we can add reviews/stills to the opening post

Less Than Perfect · 08-18-2012, 11:11 PM

Or we could do that.

Either way is good!

When is Venice again?

Thanks for the new thread Erin!

Thanks for that Pini! Too bad it's not in HQ; I can't read it.

Less Than Perfect · 08-20-2012, 01:59 AM

If you click on it you can magnify it, Glads.

Thanks for that Pini! I like how it's James interviewing Harmony. It makes it more interesting.

If we're lucky V might be able to go to both Veince and Toronto pretty easily!

minixoxmya · 08-20-2012, 02:43 AM
