Spring Breakers (2012)
Written and directed
by Harmony Korine this film stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens,
Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and James Franco. Four female college
students bored with their lot in life head down to Florida with
stolen money to indulge in spring break.
This film looks at how
consumer culture leads to suburban flirtation with and appropriation
of gangster culture which it does really well. At times the plot may
seem a little thin on the ground but this is one of those you sort of
have to go with the flow and it ends up being surprisingly deep.
Through out the film is directed as if it is one long music video and
this helps emphasise the role popular music has in seducing people to
the hedonistic thug life, overall the film is really a really
impressive mood poem.
5/5
