The New Film Creening at Chinese House

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Phnom penh: There will be a show Screening( Gummo) on Wednesday  this week at Chinese House. This about More a poetic collage than a narrative story, GUMMO presents the viewer with a lavish feast of images--some disturbing, some gorgeous, all memorable. In the small impoverished town of Xenia, Ohio, Solomon and Tummler spend their teenage boyhood killing cats, sniffing glue, and generally trying to alleviate their boredom. The town's other residents find their own amusements. Korine's willingness to explore the borderlands of feature filmmaking has resulted in a beautiful and challenging film whose haunting images remain long after it's over.

With Chloë Sevigny, Nick Sutton, Lara Tosh
88 min, color, englsh

Directed by Harmony Korine (1997)
