An exhibition of paintings by Korine inspired by the thermal imagery of “Aggro Dr1ft” will be on display at L.A.’s Hauser & Wirth gallery from Sept 15 through Jan. Korine has always had a hand in other creative endeavors, which coalesce into something of a unified worldview that mixes an outsider’s love of pop culture, prankish humor and thoughtful artistic explorations. Korine, still boyish at age 50, even as his hair is more gray than not, burst upon the ’90s filmmaking scene as the screenwriter of the controversial “Kids” and then as the director of “Gummo” and “Julien Donkey-Boy.” After some years away and a reset, he returned with a bracing run of unpredictable, inventive features that challenged audiences and pushed cultural boundaries: “Mister Lonely,” “Trash Humpers,” the commercial breakthrough of “Spring Breakers” and “The Beach Bum.”
The technology involved in creating “Aggro Dr1ft” allows it to be constantly updated and altered, so the version that screens at the upcoming New York Film Festival will have some different images than what has already screened at Venice and Toronto. (That it’s even called “Edgelord” may or may not be a joke upon the very people it’s intended to appeal to.) Along with premiering “Aggro Dr1ft” at film festivals in Venice, Toronto and New York, Korine has been announcing his new Miami-based company, EDGLRD, a multidisciplinary, multimedia outfit that will be involved in a wide range of creative endeavors. (Or worse: Fainting and nausea were reported at some screenings.)
But that story is told with a looping, repetitive style and otherworldly visuals that can cause viewers to zone out and drift away.
#Harmony korine and rachel korine movie
Few recent movies inspire the question “What am I looking at?” quite as strongly as Harmony Korine’s new “Aggro Dr1ft.” Filmed with thermal-vision cameras and undergoing extensive post-production work involving both visual effects and artificial intelligence, the movie follows a Miami hitman (Jordi Molla) as he alternates between a quietly loving life at home with his wife and family and the brutal realities of his job.
