Bringing together interviews collected from over two decades, this unique chronicle includes rare interviews unavailable in print for years and an extensive, new conversation recorded at the filmmaker's home in Nashville.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter more than twenty years, Harmony Korine (b. 1973) remains one of the most prominent and yet subversive filmmakers in America. Ever since his entry into the independent film scene as the irrepressible prodigy who wrote the screenplay for Larry Clark's \u003cem\u003eKids\u003c\/em\u003e in 1992, Korine has retained his stature as the ultimate cinematic provocateur. He both intelligently observes modern social milieus and simultaneously thumbs his nose at them. Now approaching middle age, and more influential than ever, Korine remains intentionally sensationalistic and ceaselessly creative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe parlayed the success of \u003cem\u003eKids\u003c\/em\u003e into directing the dreamy portrait of neglect \u003cem\u003eGummo\u003c\/em\u003e two years later. With his audacious 1999 digital video drama \u003cem\u003eJulien Donkey-Boy\u003c\/em\u003e, Korine continued to demonstrate a penchant for fusing experimental, subversive interests with lyrical narrative techniques. Surviving an early career burnout, he resurfaced with a trifecta of insightful works that built on his earlier aesthetic leanings: a surprisingly delicate rumination on identity (\u003cem\u003eMister Lonely\u003c\/em\u003e, 2007), a gritty quasi-diary film (\u003cem\u003eTrash Humpers\u003c\/em\u003e, 2009) and a blistering portrait of American hedonism (\u003cem\u003eSpring Breakers\u003c\/em\u003e, 2013), which yielded significant commercial success. Throughout his career he has also continued as a mixed-media artist whose fields included music videos, paintings, photography, publishing, songwriting, and performance art.","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50099291849047,"sku":"9781628461602","price":81.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781628461602.jpg?v=1740995748","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/harmony-korine-interviews-9781628461602","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
