▲''Gummo'' is a 1997 avant-garde independent film by Harmony Korine, who would later go on to direct films like ''Julien-Donkey Boy'', ''Mister Lonely'' and ''Trash Humpers''. It is set in the dying town of Xenia, Ohio, after a tornado wrecks it. Most of the residents have moved on to greener pastures, leaving only the poor, criminals, and the disabled. Gummo had a budget of 1 million dollars, and become a culthit.
Lacking a narrative, the film instead depicts scenes of the residents' nihilistic, miserable lives.
Line 10 ⟶ 8:
The movie is very disturbing, with a constant feel of unease and disgust throughout. Both surreal and lifelike, ''Gummo'' is not for everyone. It's devoid of any typical film structure or really a climax, and often uses [[Photo Montage|still images]] with narration. The most famous part is probably the [[Squick|bathtub scene]], and just as a piece of trivia [[Werner Herzog]] said that he was especially moved by the piece of bacon taped to the wall during this scene.
