Just came across this while i was doing Google blog searches for stuff that i might be able to use
for China Film Journal. This is a UK magazine and as it’s kinda late i was
just doing a perfunctory scan of the posts and came across a review, which you see above, of the new Harmony Korine movie
Mister Lonely and from the concept and from the review it seems really effin awesome…wish i could see it or get my hands on a copy.
perhaps i will make that my mission tomorrow, if the gods are kind and its somehow already on a torrent somewhere and there are endless numbers of
seeders out there.
But it’s also the experimental stuff that excites me, the thought that there are still people doing creative stuff
that goes far outside the mainstream. and i think there is some kind of emotional succor derived from learning about the
sometimes tumultuous (or at least minimally boring) life of the troubled artist Korine–I, for whatever reason, derive a certain
inspiration and strength from them. It’s not shadenfreude–that could never really be a source of strength (it’d be at most a temporary
anodyne) it’s that i really admire what these people are doing and sympathize with their struggles.
ok this is getting into major cheese land.
MOre later, if i find more good stuff in that magazine (which i am sure i will).
