THE FUTURE IS NOW

Hobo #15 | Harmony Korine

Harmony Korine is not a filmmaker that easily lends himself to straightforward analysis. Those who attempt to critique his films head-on often fall short – either by mistaking something for nothing or vice-versa.

His latest film, Spring Breakers, is particularly confounding. While it may seem that this is his most audience-friendly film to date, which it is, its ease of consumption betrays the complexity of its design. This is a film that is meant to be felt, not thought about. Now think about that. At once an expert aural-visual hand-job and the greatest cock-block ever shown on screen, it should incite recklessness, not somber reflection.

The tale of four co-eds who, by way of simulated violence, trade in the trappings of collegiate responsibility for the raw sex vibes of St. Petersburg, Florida, Spring Breakers seeks not to deliver a narrative about liberation, but to liberate its audience from narrative.
There is a story here, but it’s secondary to the film’s rhythm – a hot swampy mix of .giffable iconography and jail bait aesthetics. It’s Scarface, chopped and screwed, for girls who can’t legally drink but already know they don’t need a man to rule the world.

For everyone else, to see the film is to answer a very blunt question – do you want to get fucked up? For those that opt in and let the film wash over them like a sketchy batch of Mountain Dew-flavored ecstasy, the high is worth the hangover. For those who don’t, there’s plenty of suspect messaging and rank objectification to deconstruct at the coffee shop afterwards.

The next time you feel the urge for fresh Mexican food, just look up. A taco-toting drone may be circling in the sky.

GAME, SET, MATCH.
