About
FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GUMMO AND JULIEN DONKEY BOY
Werner Herzog, Michael Jackson, Samantha Morton, Marilyn Monroe, Abe Lincoln, Shirley Temple, and Charlie Chaplin come together in Panama and Paris for MISTER LONELY, the latest feature by wunderkind American director Harmony Korine. The titular Mister Lonely is a Michael Jackson impersonator (Diego Luna) who ekes out a living in Paris. He bumps into Marilyn Monroe (Morton) who brings him to a castle in Scotland where she lives in an impersonator community that includes her husband, Charlie Chaplin (Denis Lavant) and various others. It’s a wild world, and Harmony Korine is its playful mischievous master.
“Like (Carlos) Reygadas, Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely could be considered the first self-consciously mature work by a onetime enfant terrible.” -Dennis Lim
