BY DAN BUSKIRK Looking over this list of favorite film experiences of the last year I’m stuck on the idea that my recommendations might be misleading. Particularly with Harmony Korine’s Mister Lonely and with both the Van Sant films, the power of the experiences seem especially diminished by their transition from theater event to home [...]

Recommended THE FILM In his last feature film, 1999's "Julien Donkey-Boy," writer/director Harmony Korine walked the plank of unrelenting art-house surrealism and eagerly jumped into the cold waters of obscurity. The years haven't diluted Korine's peculiar imagination or willingness to indulge his every impulse, but there's a thick stream of compassion to his new film "Mister Lonely" that registers...

Tepid soundscapes and fruitless experimentalism mimic the dead spaces of Harmony Korine’s new movie without reproducing the incredible highs.

You could call Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely a comeback, but that would imply the return was anticipated, or that it heralds a return to form. I'm not sure either description applies. Mister Lonely is just as unconventional, by Hollywood standards, as his earlier films, if markedly less pugnacious.

There are moments in Mister Lonely that will convince you filmmaker Harmony Korine is some sort of whimsical visionary, highly amused yet deeply sympathetic as he celebrates the eccentric and marvels at the magical. There are other moments, however, when you can't help but suspect Korine really is a snarky con artist, a condescending ringmaster who's inviting us to giggle at tarnished stars in a campy...
