In the world of Harmony Korine, criminal behaviour is highly regarded and deliquents wear clothes by Proenza Schouler.
When Korine was approached to cooperate with Proenza Schouler, he didn’t hesitate for a second. He found the worst delinquents in Nashville and filmed them in a typical, poetic style. You could call it a paradox, showing trashy people in such expensive clothes. Korine regards it as a religious film. –Rotterdam
Harmony Korine (born January 4, 1973) is a US film director and writer. He first appeared in the public’s eye as the author of film director Larry Clark’s debut, Kids, a tale of irresponsible teenagers in New York which garnered rave reviews but was literally unable to be seen by the intended audience due to the NC-17 / unrated rating.
Following the success of that Harmony directed and co-produced Gummo, another unique story loosely based around the premise of aspects of life in Xenia, Ohio, post-tornado (although most of it was not filmed there). Harmony cast himself in the film, which features very unusual / disturbing images (bacon on the walls, deaf people arguing, delinquent children) in a bit part as a shy gay teenager. He also had a cameo in Kids as a clubgoer. His sometimes girlfriend, actress Chloë Sevigny (who first appeared in Kids) was perhaps the most well-known star in an otherwise largely non-actors movie.
