Baby Invasion 2024
"This baby livin the nihilist dream", says twitch chat.
Ever since Harmony Korine made his debut feature Gummo in the late 90s, his films have almost always been about one thing; postmodern nihilism. Whether in extreme forms such as Spring Breakers and Trash Humpers or in lighter forms like Mister Lonely and The Beach Bum, Korine has been fascinated with real and made up sub cultures of very... interesting human beings to say the least.

Hilarious that Monkey Man is way more political than the film titled Civil War.
Although a civil war is significant, it's the journalism that takes the primary focus. In which case I don't think it digs nearly deep enough to reflect strong characterisations especially in relation to the idea of being a war photographer in the first place. Strength is presented here but not elaborated on enough to create something truly potent regarding the many conflicts. It's an Apocalypse Now…
