This is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. I have watched it 6 times and it's still interesting. The critics will say, blinded by stupidity:
* It has no plot - does a good film have to have a plot? I don't think it's necessary. Gummo clearly presents its message and is interesting all the way through. Moreover, the abscence of plot makes Gummo unique and unforgettable unlike most of the Oscar-nominated stinking slut-buckets.
* Absurd characters - ok, i agree with that although Gummo is charged by the absurdity of the characters. They intensify the feeling of insanity and decaying society. All the characters are amazing, everyone has its own place in the movie. The mad female person with the doll for a baby. The rabbit boy, symbolizes good in the film, alone, cold, shot at, chased away.
* Stupid humor - Gummo is not spposed to be a comedy and if someone watches it with the intention to laugh, he would be disappointed. The comic situations induce laughing that is combined with subconscious disgust, fear, wonder.
I hope that Harmony Korine presents us with another piece of greatness like this one.
