"y'all are my motherfucking soulmates."
like a Ke$ha video directed by Terrence Malick (*Do* The Wonder?), a dubstep belly shot of the american nightmare. Forever.
although, re the too-obvious Ke$ha reference above, Pussy Riot would also fit the bill (the Brony-baiting masks certainly raise that flag). first viewing was dominated by concerns with capitalism and carnal myopia, but i suspect that future visits will focus more on power dynamics and holy shit ashley benson.
also, there's a show-stopping sequence at the film's mid-point that involves a piano and an unexpected pop song and... cinema forreeverrrrr

Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers is a neon haze of warped wish fulfillment and debauchery as four college girls live the modern American Dream during one long hedonistic nightmare known as spring break. The annual spring break has become something of a rites of passage for America’s youth, glamorised and immortalised by film and MTV. Korine’s latest, and arguably most accessible film in years, embraces the iconography of the yearly pilgrimage whilst lightly satirising the vapidity of American youth and their distorted values.
The film follows four college friends as they rob a Chicken Shack with water pistols in order to pay for their spring break trip to Florida. The BFF soak up sun, drink and drugs as the days and…

A beach party in the vein of Enter the Void. A mansion that glows pink like the neon letters in Drive. An hour and thirty minute party montage that oozes neon liquid and blares broken sound. A transcendent audiovisual trip into the depths of the American youth.
Its Spring Break.
Bitch.
Compulsive trash humper and arthouse demigod Harmony Korine has somehow created one of the most visually and viscerally intense films of this generation. Uh huh. The film about Disney stars in bikinis is one of the most abrasive and colorful trips in recent cinematic history. Yes, youre reading that right. Spring Breakers is in your face and gets deep under your sunburt crispy skin; an abusive and addicting picture…

I'll be honest. The first time I saw this I hated it immensely. But I was also oddly intrigued. When I watched this it was in a theatre during a sneak preview and after about fifteen minutes the first people started to walk out. After about half an hour, about half the audience had left. Those that remained were noisy, disinterested and annoyed, venting their frustration on the film.
In retrospect, this rubbed off on me and I guess I associated the experience with the film. But still those luring neon lights kept begging me to give it another watch. And when a mate of mine invited me to come over and watch what he called 'this generation's defining film',…

Spring Breaker ist ein echtes sperriges kaum zu beschreibenes Partybiest. Ein Trauriger Abgesang auf eine verlorene Generation, die es nicht abwarten kann sich zu Tode zu trinken. Der American Dream war selten exzessiver und rauchhafter wie in Harmony Korines Werk über den Untergang der Jugend.
Review by Ethan ★★★★★

real life filth captured perfectly in a painfully thin story that’s thrown at you in such a middle-schooler-at-the-mall sort of way. james does great; the shotgun cocking sound effects throughout are hilariously annoying. i love this movie so much.

Review by uncuteggs

dude who the fuck thought it was a good idea putting that gun sound in the movie every five/ten minutes, it was so fucking irritating and it didn't let me enjoy the movie at all (even tho i also hated the protagonist)
Review by Taylor Baker ★★½

Really just not my type of movie.
Review by Jorbyy ★

It must be embarrassing to be in the movie (James Franco)
Review by JDKnits ★★½

It makes my little brothers obsession with James Franco all the stranger.

“Act like you’re in a movie or something”
Super weird and maybe not for everyone, but once it gets going my god this is a good film. Not at all what I was expecting and I love it.
Review by DickGirl ★★★ 1

This was so gross.
Almost doesn’t feel like a satire.
I just wanna peel my skin off.
Maybe take a shower with clothes on.
Benoît Debie just wants everyone to feel high all the time.
Diving into Harmony Korine’s work starting with this cause I’ve seen it before, at least I thought I had before starting this viewing. Not so sure now.
Definitely seems like it’s gonna be a very pretentious filmography.
