    Everyone’s cooking but this might be the best that Natalie Portman has ever been.

    I love that Korine followed through on his impulse to create a “lost artifact”- an inexplicable piece of degraded gutter art that goes from unsettling to downright horrifying when presented without context. At one point he considered distributing the film by mailing it to various police stations. It’s fun to imagine unsuspecting cops throwing this on at the office in 2009 and going “what the fuck is this?”

    The Trash Humpers are an interesting bunch. Are they elderly and surprisingly…
