Days of Being Wired
By Jeffrey M. Anderson This near-masterpiece by first-time director Harmony Korine (who wrote the screenplay for Kids) is hated by just about everyone. It's a wandering, sick, and dreamy look at a near-dead town recovering from a devastating hurricane. Its inhabitants include bored teenagers who shoot cats to sell to Chinese restaurants. Most scenes are shocking and unforgettable, including a horrible drunken card-game brawl, and the triumphant return of Linda Manz (Days of Heaven, Out of the Blue) doing a soft-shoe shuffle in the world's most disgusting basement. Chloe Sevigny co-stars as seductive teen with tape on her nipples. But for all its unsettling imagery Gummo also abounds with strange beauty. You will never forget seeing it.
