By now you've probably all seen the new Proenza Schouler film by Harmony Korine, coz its pretty much all over the place, and for good reason - I HEART IT. I am such a sucker for anything even resembling lo-fi cut and paste creations, and I just love the aesthetic feeling the video portrays. I think it really compliments the clothes and Jack and Lazrio were really clever and cool to do it for this season. I also love the narration... Ive used narration a bit like this in my own work when making a film a year or so ago, and its something Im definately going to use again. Seeing this has just inspired me further, ya know.
As it goes, Ive seen both positive and negative reviews of it. It seems majorly that all the fashion blogs dig it, but alot of other people are all 'Same old HK shit'. I guess for me I cant (and dont like to) compare it to any of his other films since Ive only seen Kids - which by the way I hate. Anyway for me its like this: if I like something I like it and I dont really care about much else.
Seeing it also reminded me of an interview I read months ago (I think in LULA?) with Rachel Korine (his wife yo) about his then upcoming film TRASH HUMPERS which looks ACTUALLY INSANE!!! I just saw that its already pretty much been and gone in terms of screenings - a few at the end of september in London - but the good news is you can buy it very soon on DVD and VHS!! amazing.
I literally actually have no idea what its about or anything, Im thinking its very much in keeping with the sort of narrative-less stories (oxymoronic?) he has made before. Once again it has that lofi look of being filmed on an old video camera (maybe it was? would be cool), which gives it such a creepy feel... or rather I should say it gives it an EVEN MORE creepy feel. seriously just watch the trailer for reals because its just one of those things. Im rather looking forward to seeing it even though I think I will probably freak out. In the best way of course.
I dont even know...
