In his lavish manse, he shows off his arsenal, invokes Scarface, and says, “This is the fuckin’ American dream, y’all.” Every one of Franco’s lines could be the prelude to a rap song too moronic for airplay.

“Sprang break … Sprang break … ” he intones, attempting to lull us with his sexy outlaw incantations. He watches them go before a judge and, enraptured, bails them out. Spring Breakers switches gears midway through with the arrest of these bacchanalians (bikinis behind bars!) and the arrival of James Franco as a flamboyant meth dealer with silver teeth and red-tinted cornrows. Outside her Sodom-like motel room, Faith tells her grandmom on the phone that Florida is “the most spiritual place I’ve ever been,” and she means it: She really is blissed out - “free, as if the world is perfect.” Then there’s a shot of the protagonists giggling in a pool, during which the camera sinks below the water line for a good shot of their bottom halves. He wants to remind you of her higher self - or to parody the Afterschool Specials that would remind you of her higher self. Korine flashes back to that image much later, when she’s throwing back vodkas amid writhing, semi-naked teens. She’s first seen in a church group, an ingenuous young Bible-clutching thing who’s shot to show the stained-glass window above her. One of the four girls, Faith (Gomez), does seem cut from a holier cloth. Satisfaction beckons: “All this money makes my pussy wet.” This they do in ski masks and short-shorts, holding real-looking squirt guns. How can they take a bus to Florida and stay in a motel and buy booze and drugs when they’re broke? Easy peasy: rob a diner. Is Spring Breakers deliberately stupid and asinine, a transgressive parody of Where the Boys Are that brazenly acknowledges what Korine’s admirers in the academy call the “commodification of the female body”? Does he mean to have his cheesecake and deconstruct it, too? Either way, I think the movie is swill - but I wouldn’t be shocked if a whole crop of cinema studies papers affirms the case for its genius.Īfter the wet-dreamy Girls Gone Wild prologue, two college coeds ignore a history professor’s lecture on the struggle of African-Americans to exercise their liberty to focus on their own crusade for freedom - succinctly expressed as, “I want penis.” But they must fight for their right to party - or, rather, their funds to party. A friend whispered, “The camera is like a giant tongue.” You can almost hear the slurping.īut wait: Korine is the festival darling who wrote Kids (they do drugs, they get AIDS) and directed Julien Donkey-Boy, featuring arthouse cinema’s answer to Jar Jar Binks. He moves in-in-in on those hot bods - up, down, all around the town.

The point is that Korine isn’t a passive voyeur. Spring Breakers opens with a montage of bouncing bare boobs and buttocks barely squeezed into bikini bottoms, the camera gliding up the lengths of young girls’ thighs - see what I mean? That skeevy guy down the street just grabbed his raincoat and headed for the multiplex.

It’s also among the perviest movies ever made - although by spelling out why, I fear I’ll only make some people want to see it more. But Spring Breakers strikes me as another of Korine’s calculated punk outrages, a sploog in Disney’s direction. I don’t know how the Mouse feels about the attendant hullaballoo - maybe he’s ripping mad, maybe he’s rubbing his white gloves together in glee at the prospect of a ratings boost for Pretty Little Liars and the coming The Wizards Return: Alex vs.

'The film is shot so amazingly, so I think parts like that could be seen as nasty or bad or whatever, it doesn't seem that way because it's just so beautifully done.'Ĭo-star Selena Gomez previously admitted that Franco 'creeped her out' on the set of the movie.Teens, ‘tweens, and middle-aged men are drooling with anticipation over Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers, a hard-R-rated beach-party picture starring three starlets from the Disney entertainment megaverse: Vanessa Hudgens ( High School Musical), Ashley Benson (ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars), and former Justin Bieber squeeze Selena Gomez ( Wizards of Waverly Place) - plus Korine’s wife, Rachel, who’s way out of her league in the sullied-teen-dream department. For a sex scene, I think it was just filmed beautifully. The Pretty Little Liars actress added: 'I thought it was beautiful. The risquÃ© scene also stars Vanessa Hudgens and James Franco.īenson said to MTV: 'The first time I saw it was on a very small screen, so I didn't really get to see what it was when I got to see the film in Venice, and that was extremely nerve-racking because it wasn't just me, it was tons of people watching.' Ashley Benson has said that the sex scene in her new film Spring Breakers was beautifully shot.
