DVD Review MISTER LONELY

Harmony Korine could have, at one time, been classified as an acquired taste, full of all sorts of quirky arthouse weirdness and experimental cool. But with Mister Lonely he's helmed a film that could stand as a veritable just-left-of-mainstream high watermark, a lyrical journey of altered self-discovery that is sweet, tragic and full of off-kilter wonder.
