Last night Kara and I saw Spring Breakers and I was blown away.
Written and directed by Harmony Korine, this film starring James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and Gucci Mane. was not what I was expecting, not at all. Color, light, and camera technique were used to create an interesting film with crisp dialog, and surprising twists. There were unexpected allusions to Scarface, Requiem for A Dream, and Natural Born Killers. There was real acting going on here, and there was a much more fully realized film than I had ever suspected. This is not a film for kids, people who dislike gratuitous sex, drug use, or violence. However through the lens of this excess there is a frightening and compelling film. See Spring Breakers.
