TIFF 2009 Day 8: Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers

Date:

I’m unlikely to forget any of the films in Harmony Korine’s filmography. This happens to be the case for Trash Humpers. It was perhaps the taxing film festival experience (little sleep and many movies) that was a factor for my immense dislike for Korine’s obscure, filmed on VHS offering, but I like to think hat I came into the film with a clean slate sort of speak, Like his previous film Mister Lonely, this wore me down, tested my tolerance level beyond what the worst in mainstream crap normally does. I’m looking forward in seeing how many critics champion this irritating 80 minutes of “trash” cinema. Full review coming soon.
