Review of Spring Breakers (2013) by Irvin C — 29 Dec 2013
This film looks like as if it's a "Girls Gone Wild" video directed by Jean Luc Godard. And for me, that's not a bad thing at all. I was very wary to see this film because I've only seen Harmony Korine's script-only features,"Kids" and "Ken Park" (I'm mixed on the first one, not a fan at all of the second) but to my surprised, I really, really admired and liked this film.
The shock novelty of seeing Disney Channel staples Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens doing drugs, drinking, partying and generally behaving very un-Disney-like lasts only for a moment then you're sucked in and mesmerized and shocked by the amorality of unbridled youthful hedonism.
James Franco steals the film as the creepy and funny white rapper, Alien. The cinematography is also similarly top-notch.
