Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft gets a trippy trailer
More than a decade after Spring Breakers, Harmony Korine (Julien Donkey-Boy, NYFF37; Trash Humpers, NYFF47) returns with an even more hallucinatory trance film, and perhaps his most formally unbound work. Shot entirely in retina-scorching infrared and set to an intoxicating Araabmuzik score, AGGRO DR1FT casts Jordi Molla and rapper Travis Scott in a feverish, transporting action-movie miasma of skulls and swords, masks and machine guns, strippers and mobsters, horned demons and hot cars.
While the trailer does have some very cool imagery, I do wonder whether I would be able to sit through a full film. It works well for a short trailer, music video or video game cutscene, but I can only imagine the headache you could have by the end of it.
What are your thoughts on the way it is shot?
