Married with a kid, and now residing in his native Nashville, cinematic provocateur Harmony Korine shows no signs of settling down. Hailed as ?the future of American cinema? by Werner Herzog, writer/ director Korine has blazed a trail with his consistently idiosyncratic output, including Kids, Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy and Mister Lonley. Trash Humpers sees him return with an excoriating attack on the American Dream.
A lo-fi production of white-heat intensity, Korine calls it, ?a new type of horror; palpable and raw.? Korine intended the film to be more like a found artifact ?a VHS tape that was in some attic or buried in some ditch.? With this in mind, a special limited edition number of VHS tapes, hand customised by Korine, will also be available to buy from 20 September with pre-orders available from 18 June.
Trash Humpers follows a small gang of sinister ?elderly? peeping toms through the shadows of a nightmarishly familiar suburban landscape. Their shocking and sociopathic behaviour makes for unbearably compelling viewing that scorches itself onto the mind?s eye.
