Harmony Korine’s second feature presents a string of grotesqueries set in Queens, New York, where a schizophrenic (Bremner, of Trainspotting fame) lives with his pregnant sister (Sevigny), his cough syrup–chugging father (Herzog), his athlete brother, and his grandmother. One of the first works to fully exploit the hallucinatory, impressionistic possibilities of digital video, Julien Donkey-Boy deploys a whole new palette of electric colors as Korine traces—sometimes comically, sometimes tragically, and always outrageously—his hero’s efforts to find a place for himself in an increasingly absurd, violent world.
