Beach Bum

(United States, directed by Harmony Korine)

It’s been a while since independent cinema prankster Harmony Korine released his latest film ‘Spring Breakers’. That movie divided audiences; most critics praised it while mainstream audiences couldn’t really figure out it’s extravagant visual style and absurdist humor. Beach Bum, a sunny stoner comedy starring Matthew McConaughey as a poet looking for inspiration in Floria, is more accessible. More a comedy in the classic sense.
