Mister Lonely

After the success of indies Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy in the late ‘90s, writer-director Harmony Korine's follow-up is this dramedy starring Diego Luna (the rich boy in Y Tu Mama Tambien) as a Michael Jackson impersonator who follows a dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe (Samantha Morton) to a Scottish commune filled with celebrity lookalikes. Cinema legends Werner Herzog and Anita Pallenberg costar.

“Movies tell the same stories over and over, but I know of only one that evokes mourned innocence in just a three-minute shot of a clown bike.” (Jim Ridley, Village Voice)

“As a champion for the beautiful and the strange, I'll take bottom-shelf Korine over just about anything else currently playing in theaters.” (Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine)
