"FINALLY, LILLIAN AND DAN Trailer Finally, Lillian and Dan comes to CineVegas almost a full year after its first and only significant public screening, as part of the M-word heavy Summer 2007 Independents Week series at Harvard Film Archives. It’s a find, a definite cousin of the work being made in the Bronstein household––as with Frownland, the mumbling here is so stylized and disturbed that it’s like a precision bomb against the twee subtelties explored by other contemporary filmmakers––it’s more like Tourettescore. But there’s also a tenderness here, and lofty aesthetic ambitions underpinned with "

"Despite my aversion to Korine's first film, Gummo, I found this sixth dogma 95 film heart wrenching and beautiful, hardly the depraved fantasy of Gummo. I hear that this film stretches the rules of the manifesto at nearly every step, to my relief. I am glad that the deaths on screen did not actually occur... Regardless, this is a sincere look at dysfunctional family life done masterfully in a comedic-tragic way. Werner Herzog as the hick father vicariously living through his son never ceases to entertain (and this is not just because I find him the most entertaining man alive). The film oddly encourages the pursuit of ones dreams. Herzog tends to be cruelly honest, abrasive, and abusive to encourage his son to be a wrestling champion. Chloe Sevigny, the mother, sister, or lover (the truth was obscured), represents an innocence and becomes a pure symbol of goodness. She is strong and creates an inseparable bond among the family. There is a beautiful part when she dances in the s ... "

"Where has Harmony Korine been in the eight years between his 1999 Dogme 95 effort Julien Donkey-Boy, and his IFC-acquired, Cannes/Toronto entry Mister Lonely? It has something to do with a fire, a screenplay about pigs, and a cult of Amazonian fishermen called The Malingerers. He talks all about all of that, and also why he’ll never make “genre films”, in this video interview (which doesn’t seem to be embeddable, but if you can figure it out, let me know). Is it truth, or some kind of Herzogian fantasy? You decide. [Via Movie City Indie] Originally posted on:

"Gerard Manley Hopkins ‘THE CHILD is father to the man.’ How can he be? The words are wild. Suck any sense from that who can: ‘The child is father to the man.’ No; what the poet did write ran, 5 ‘The man is father to the child.’ ‘The child is father to the man!’ How can he be? The words are wild. But then, I would hardly call Julien Donkey-Boy 'wild'. I realize, and it is most probably unfortunate for me and my psychic and emotional development, that I don't mind horror movies at all ( well except for 'slasher' movies where the chief victim is almost always a woman, I loathe these ). I think of this film as nothing short of horror. I cannot bear films where children are mistreated. I am sickened. In this film ( can I make this statement???), 'everyone is crazy as a loon' ( in fact, I think the dog is too ). The director, Harmony Korinem, in o "
