Gummo
Prepare to visit a town you'd never want to call home.
Directed by Harmony Korine
Produced by Independent Pictures
A deliberately transgressive, visually grotesque portrait of post-disaster American decay told through the aimless lives of two teenagers in a broken town.
Teenagers Solomon and Tummler kill time in Xenia, Ohio, a small town that has never recovered from the tornado that ravaged the community in the 1970s.
