Harmony Korine burst onto the independent film scene in 1994 with Larry Clark’s directorial debut “Kids,” a hip, gritty morality play on the spread of HIV among teenage club kids in Manhattan, which he wrote at age 21.
After years on the fringes of the industry, Korine returned with “Mr. Lonely.” It premiered at Cannes last year and is now in theatres from IFC Films.
Diego Luna stars as a Michael Jackson impersonator invited by Samantha Morton’s Marilyn Monroe to join a dystopian commune of “people like them” in the Scottish Highlands. German auteur Werner Herzog steals the show in a parallel story as a priest overseeing a Cessna of flying nuns in Panama.
