I have read a lot of comments calling this film "Art", actually recommending it. There is no "Art" to be found in Julien, just a dizzying waste of my time. The camera work and sound make it pretty much unwatchable, I felt sick at times watching it on a big screen. I get that Harmony Korine did this on purpose to have us feel disorientated, like Julien feels all the time, but he takes it way to far and created a horrible looking mess.
I liked Gummo, it was one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen, so I was very much looking forward to Julien Donkey-Boy, I was very disappointed.
If Julien Donkey-Boy is what is passing for "Art" these days, I am out of touch with society. Everyone who thought this film was actually good, try watching it sober and without the drugs. Hopefully Harmony will get off the smack too when and if he makes another film.
Art or complete crap? If it smells and looks like crap, it probably is crap. At the very best it is extremely crappy art.
