SPRING BREAKERS d. Harmony Korine, 2012 presented by Transmissions at Dalston Superstore (25 JUL 19:00).

“Spring Breakers is more of a phenomenon than a film, but its craft still speaks for itself. Acclaimed for its arthouse storytelling and enveloping atmosphere by some, and decried for its sleaze, violence and supposed vapidity by others, Spring Breakers would have fit comfortably amongst our season of problematic faves, but is more than a fitting end to July’s celebrations of sun, sweat, and sex.”

“Love it or hate it, Korine’s film is an undeniable force, but you’ll probably figure out where you stand somewhere between its opening moments set to Skrillex’s “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” and “Lights” by Ellie Goulding shimmering over the closing credits.” (Transmissions)
