Since the moment he was plucked from Washington Square Park to pen the film that shook Cannes to its core, Harmony Korine has never stopped breaking his own and everyone else's rules and expanding minds in and beyond the world of film. Much like one of his heroes, Groucho Marx, Korine's never had any interest in belonging to any club that would have him or, perhaps more accurately, that would try to box him in. Korine is certainly influenced by the likes of Fassbinder, Herzog, Alan Clarke, and Buster Keaton while remaining ardently singular. He is obsessed with challenging his viewers to look for--and ultimately find--the beauty and purity inherent in the chaos of the oft-ignored dark and wild corners of humanity. Mischievously determined, his films remind us all that very often hilarity, horror, depravity, love, and sublime beauty exist simultaneously. Korine is an artist bound to his forever mission of "trying to give that beautiful energy some life; trying to let the arsonists be arsonists and let them vandalise in all their pageantry -- give it some light, give it some universe...let it transcend."
The Music Box Theatre is proud to present 'Don't Rest on Your Laurel and Hardy: The Films of Harmony Korine,' a near complete retrospective of films, shorts, music videos, and ephemera from one of the most peculiar & bizarre filmmakers in history and one of the last true punks of cinema.
