Directed by Harmony Korine.
When a Michael Jackson impersonator (Diego Luna) living in Paris falls for a Marilyn Monroe impersonator (Samantha Morton) during a performance at a retirement home, the lovestruck pair retreats to a seaside castle in the Scottish highlands populated by a commune of reclusive impersonators. Earning a living can be a difficult endeavor in the City of Lights, and in order to make ends meet one man has turned to mimicking the King of Pop. One day, while doing the moonwalk in an old folks home, Michael meets a beautiful Marilyn Monroe look-alike. When Marilyn suggests that Michael joins her in traveling to the Scottish Highlands and moving into a castle populated entirely by celebrity doppelgangers, the would-be gloved one readily accepts her invitation. Shortly after arriving at the castle, Michael and Marilyn find the commune preparing for their first-ever gala - a lavish affair featuring appearances by Abe Lincoln, The Three Stooges, Buckwheat, Shirley Temple, Madonna, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Charlie Chaplin. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"According to indieWIRE’s specialty box office report, Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely made more money last weekend per-screen than any other film in limited release. The IFC release took in $16,769 in its single engagement at the IFC Center in New York, which is pretty astounding when you consider that a) he hasn’t released a movie in almost ten years, and b) Korine’s last film, julien donkey-boy, made just $85,400 in its entire run. Because today is Lazy Video Link Day, let’s celebrate Harmony’s big-money victory by watching the scene from julien in which Werner Herzog spends some quality time with a bottle of cough syrup. Oh, and we reviewed Mister Lonely and talked to Harmony about obscene Southern rap and his favorite YouTube videos, too. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth " [More]

"Michael Tully, who interviewed Mister Lonely director Harmony Korine for the upcoming issue of FILMMAKER Magazine, points to Korine’s latest work for hire, a series of British TV commercials for Budweiser. There are four short clips, featuring two members of the Silver Jews, and they can all be watched at Bud’s UK website. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth " [More]

"Cool Hunting has a preview of a beautiful book that’s out in the UK in the conjunction with the release there of Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely (which I reviewed at SXSW, and loved). The book includes the shooting script, by Harmony and his brother Avi Korine, as well as photographs from the set, some taken by Harmony’s wife Rachel. According to Amazon, the book won’t be available until August 2008, but you can pre-order it now. Via BuzzFeed. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog " [More]

"Where has Harmony Korine been in the eight years between his 1999 Dogme 95 effort Julien Donkey-Boy, and his IFC-acquired, Cannes/Toronto entry Mister Lonely? It has something to do with a fire, a screenplay about pigs, and a cult of Amazonian fishermen called The Malingerers. He talks all about all of that, and also why he’ll never make “genre films”, in this video interview (which doesn’t seem to be embeddable, but if you can figure it out, let me know). Is it truth, or some kind of Herzogian fantasy? You decide. [Via Movie City Indie] Originally posted on:SpoutBlog's blog " [More]

"Robert Greenwald, who has made a living making unabashedly partisan documentaries about Wal-Mart and Iraq since scratching Xanadu off his resume, has teamed with Senator Bernie Sanders to launch a viral video campaign against Fox News. The first video, which you can see at FoxAttacks.com, calls for viewers to put pressure on the mainstream media to put pressure on the Bush administration. My favorite line from the Hollywood Reporter story: “One media observer said the video lacked balance and journalistic credibility.” IFC has picked up three films expected to screen at the Toronto Film Festival, including Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely. In keeping with their previously announced plan to focus their attention on the First Take initiative, IFC will release all of these new acquisitions simultaneously in theaters and on VOD. “Jeff Goldblum and his hometown of Pittsburgh, whether it likes it or not, have combined to create a surprising summer delight,” effuses an un-bylined AP story f ...
