CGiii Comment

Korine's debut - and a sub-standard graduate from the Larry Clark school of film-making.

Cat-drowning, glue-sniffing, hideous, evil, ugly kids - it is NOT difficult to throw bizarre characters together in a non-linear narrative and pretend that it's terribly controversial...art, even.

Seriously, anyone could have made this.

Ultimately, Gummo says NOTHING and that, in itself, makes the supposed controversy redundant.

But, it does reek of exploitation which leaves a rather vile taste in your mouth.

The(ir) Blurb...

Constructing this film through random scenes, director Harmony Korine abruptly jettisoned any sort of narrative plot, so here we go: Solomon and Tummler are two bored teenage boys who live in Xenia, Ohio. A few years ago, a tornado swept through it, destroying more than half the town and killing the same amount, including Solomon's father. The film, from there, chronicles the anti-social adventures these two boys have. These include sniffing glue, killing cats, having sex, riding dirtbikes, listening to black metal, and meeting a cavalcade of quirky, bizarre, and scary people.
