4/10
Disappointing more than anything...I'm all for Harmony Korine making a more accessibly movie but he doesn't actually try to say anything interesting. The plot has plenty of fodder - a commune of celebrity impersonators gathering together in a castle on an island in Paris to put on a talent show for the other inhabitants - but it never really goes anywhere, which is a shame. There are some great shots, some vintage Korine moments of truly bizarre beauty and, like Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy, some scenes I'll probably never forget...but as a whole, it just doesn't work.
