SHOWNOTES: Welcome to our rural American nightmare, Collateral Cinema listeners! That's right, hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash go back to the 90s arthouse, as we explore Harmony Korine's (@harmfulkorine) classically disturbing 1997 debut, Gummo. This film challenged us in many, many ways; with it's unique approach to cinematography, complete lack of a three-arc story structure, use of non-actors for realistic impact, stream of consciousness script writing, and the nightmarish dive into the depravity and emptiness of the American dream. This movie is peircing, haunting, disturbing, and unlike anything else released before or since; join us, as we barely scratch the surface of this twisted American psycho-drama, and take a trip with us into the dark underbelly of the American Zeitgeist.
