Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1884 movies items)

" Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives. It’s disgustingly disturbing, and bleak as all out and therefore not for everyone, given it’s subject matter and matter of factness about the beauty of ordinary bleak and ugly. Critics didn’t like the film, because of that. But some have argued that it’s the whole point."

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this movie , I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, it wasn't an easy watch, in fact, it was sometimes downright unpleasant to behold but, even so, I still think it was pretty good though.

I mean, following his acclaimed screenplay for 'Kids' (a film I actually saw when it was released and actually didn't like at all but I guess I should re-watch it at some point), Harmony Korine chose for his directing debut to not use a plot at all and, instead, he gave us a collection of completely random scenes almost never linked together involving a bunch of some white trash.
