Curb Dance

...not really very good at all.

I mean, I really liked Harmony Korine's voice over due to it being so poetic and odd, but the cinematography and actual video are pretty atrocious. If this was just a written work, I would have liked it much better, because the writing here is quite good. It seems to be just Korine celebrating "curb dancing" in a well written and wonderfully weird manner. But then the actual video is so uninteresting and bad looking. Its shot on terrible VHS style video which makes my eyes want to bleed, and the video itself is not clever in the slightest. Its literally just Harmony Korine curb dancing-and that's it! They could have at least tried to create something interesting or artistic here, but they didn't!

I believe this to be a little masterpiece of cinema. It is a poem, short and sweet. His voice over is an honest truth, full of all of the artistic themes and traits that Korine carries. The way it is filmed is reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin. It has the essence of silent film. Old film has a way of aging, having frayed edges and overblown light. This film, does this somewhat intentionally, giving it a beautiful timeless quality. This film floats above all over contemporary cinema, floating in a poetic world of its own. You cannot beat the simplicity and beauty of this film. Long Live Harmony Korine.
