GUMMO

I watched GUMMO on On Demand the other night.
I've seen it about twice before. I discussed this f^cked up movie with Ash before. Love it or hate it...it has some stuff in it,if your from a smallbackwoods town....you KNOW these people. The scene when the drunken hillbillys are trashing the kitchen. I've seen people do that. I coulda done without some of the arty narration,though.

Haven't seen this film in some years now, someone borrowed my copy and never returned it which might be a blessing Besides the kitchen scene, which is genuinely funny, there are so many disturbing sequences in this film that it is hard to take it all in in one viewing. The music snippets of Black Metal interspersed throughout is a nice touch. My favorite line... ' I want a mustache goddammit.'

Has anyone here seen Harmony Korine's latest film? The one about the remote village of celebrity lookalikes?

The reason it's hard to watch for me is that it actually hits very close to home. The feel just the general feel of this movie is Lawton,Michigan. Hillbillys,booze,poor folks...trailer trash..... a world I know. City folk will find it exaggerated. Actually-life is weirder.

GUMMO was filmed all around Nashville I remember when it was in the local news. I went to see it at the local artsy theater before it was in wide release - and I used to work with a guy who went to high school with that black dwarf!

Personally, I've always considered it a documentary.

Yep.  I remember talking to you about it.  It was one of those times when we talked on the phone and bullsh***ed for an hour or so.  We must've spent at least 10 minutes talking about this movie.

I remember catching this film on cable for the first time years ago and was completely glued to the screen. 
Like you R.C., this movie rings so true for me.  I used to hang out with a guy named Chris and his family is exactly like the people in the kitchen scene you posted. 
I remember hanging out with them and getting drunk and raising hell.  They always gave me a hard time because I dressed preppy and they dressed like the people in this movie.  But for some odd reason I got along great with all of them and fit in.

This is one movie people either love or hate.
I found it kind of fascinating.

Great movie. Even better soundtrack. My favorite part has to be the infamous bathtub scene.
