GUMMO

Panned by audiences and hated by critics, Gummo, by former indie It boy Harmony Korine, is a loosely-connected series of absurdist vignettes. If this film had made its debut in an art gallery rather than an arthouse movie theatre, it would have been lauded as some kind of visionary masterpiece. Instead, it’s mostly regarded as crap—but I think it’s brilliant. The stuff in this movie could only come from the mind of someone with legitimate mental health issues.
