The short sequence and images have actually been taken from the 1997 American dystopian art film ” Gummo” written and directed by Harmony Korine. The film is set in Xenia, Ohio, a small, poor Midwestern American town that had been previously struck by a devastating tornado. The loose narrative follows several main characters who find odd and destructive ways to pass time, interrupted by vignettes depicting other inhabitants of the town.

The mute adolescent boy, known as Bunny Boy, wears only pink bunny ears, shorts, and tennis shoes on an overpass in the rain. However the most illustrative image, may be when the shirtless waif thrusts a dead cat at the camera which brings to mind the act of this director presenting his work to his audience.

Overwhelmingly, Gummo is an impressionistic series of shots, stills, sound clips and vignettes meant to evoke a feeling of hopelessness for the bottom-feeding strata of American society commonly known as “white trash.”

The folks of Xenia, OH, as depicted in the film, seen through Harmonie’s lens seem to have inspired the late underground soundcloud rap culture who only lives throught this low-fi imagery, a twisted vision of stark realism which chooses to exaggerate the ugliness of life and depression.

Korine’s most significant technique for nightmarizing this downbeat milieu is to fracture what little narrative there is. which has been the creative guideline to brands like PlacesplusFaces or MD.

The movie is also starring the sulphurous Chloë Sevigny who played the HIV positive teenager in KIDS who is also a movie directed by Harmonie and you might remember her from Her role in the film The Brown Bunny (2003) who caused significant controversy because of a scene in which she performs unsimulated fellatio. All for the culture she is now working for Vice and remains a pillar of New York Subculture. Watch the trailer down below.
