Gummo Movie

Harmony Korine presents the viewer with a barrage of random vignettes depicting the lives of definitely odd yet vivid characters which make the movie unique and memorable. The main characters are Solomon (Jacob Reynolds) and Tummler (Nick Sutton), two bored teenagers living in the small shattered town of Xenia, Ohio. A few years ago, a devastating tornado swept through the town, dealing death and destruction along its path. Since then the teenage boys have been involved in antisocial behaviour in order to kill time. Their outrageous adventures include killing cats and selling their carcasses, sniffing glue, having sex with mentally handicapped girls, riding bikes through the mud, playing practical jokes, and meeting various queer, disturbing and depraved people. Among them is a troubled drunk man (Harmony Korine) flirting with a black midget (Bryant L. Crenshaw); a man pimping his mentally retarded sister; two boy-crazy sisters, Dot (Chloe Sevigny) and Helen (Carisa Bara), who dream of becoming strippers; Bunny Boy (Jacob Sewell), a pre-adolescent skateboarder wearing a pair of long pink ears.
