Harmony Korine: Gaming Engines Are So Advanced That the Call of Duty Trailer ‘Looks Better Than Anything Spielberg’s Ever Done’

Lili Reinhart and Sydney Sweeney are squashing any rumors of a feud.

We may now be in autumn, but it looks like many of us might need to look for ways to cool down as certain parts of Scotland are due for another heatwave.

Ellise Shafer Harmony Korine’s “Aggro Dr1ft” received a 10-minute standing ovation after its premiere at Venice Film Festival, despite a flurry of walkouts. Though some audience members left as soon as the experimental action film finished (and at least 25 departed before that), Korine’s hardcore fans stuck around for a rousing 10-minute ovation. As Korine greeted the crowd and did a happy dance, chants of “Harmony! Harmony! Harmony!” rang out.

Ten years after “Spring Breakers,” the neon pinks and greens of Harmony Korine’s mainstream breakthrough return in an Internet-inflected and even more abstract ode to the thug life, with seriously mixed results. To call “Aggro Dr1ft” stupid or silly isn’t wrong, but it is missing the point.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic I have seen the future of cinema, and it is “Aggro Dr1ft,” a neon-hued outlaw eyegasm from the director of ”Spring Breakers.” There will likely never be another film like it. Even so, it’s clear that Harmony Korine’s immersive iridescent plunge into the world and psyche of a serial killer points the way down fresh avenues for the medium to explore.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Roman Polanski’s Italian producer Luca Barbareschi got emotional at the press conference for “The Palace,” a black comedy that is the director’s new work and premieres at the Venice Film Festival today. “It’s been very difficult to make this film,” said Barbareschi, a multi-hyphenate who also stars in “The Palace.” “Polanski is not easy [to finance]” he added, noting that “there is a hole – France – in the middle of this film,” since French companies refused to participate in its production. Polanski’s previous film, “An Officer and a Spy,” a period drama about the Dreyfus affair, scooped the Grand Jury Prize at Venice, won best director at the Cesar Awards and was one of the highest grossing French films of 2019.

Harmony Korine has said he embraced AI technology for the making of his new experimental film Aggro Dr1ft which world premieres Out of Competition at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.

Ellise Shafer Harmony Korine arrived to the Venice Film Festival press conference for his latest film, “Aggro Dr1ft,” wearing a devilish mask inspired by the movie with a cigar in hand. Korine was joined by “Aggro Dr1ft” visual effects artist Joao Rosa and Eric Kohn, the newly announced head of film strategy and development at his company EDGLRD. All three sported horned masks with bee-like eyes — Korine’s was yellow while Rosa wore a white mask and Kohn donned a black one.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Harmony Korine used to be a movie junkie, someone who’d watch anything and everything. These days, when people recommend a movie, “I’ll look at it and I feel nothing, like dead inside,” says the guy whose own films, from “Spring Breakers” to the controversial screenplay for Larry Clark’s “Kids,” are nothing if not disruptive. “Watching a lot of this shit, you really feel the algorithms,” he says the day before receiving the Pardo d’onore Manor prize at the Locarno Film Festival.

While he’s now 50 years old, former enfante terrible filmmaker Harmony Korine is still a little mischievous boy at heart. While he’s seemingly mellowed somewhat—and kinda stopped telling tall tales— unless his recent comments about potentially directing a Terrence Malick script is one of his fibs—he’s also not against doing wild experimental sh*t.

EDGLRD—the new multidisciplinary design collective founded by filmmaker and artist Harmony Korine—has named Eric Kohn as Head of Strategy and Development, Film. Kohn comes to EDGLRD from his position as VP, Editorial Strategy and Executive Editor at IndieWire, where he has worked for over 16 years. Kohn will officially assume the position on August 30, 2023.

Drew Carey is honoring Bob Barker. On Tuesday, CBS announced that it will air hosted by Carey, the late host's fan and friend, on Aug. 31.

Louis Garrel worked under the direction of Greta Gerwig in 2019’s Little Women and shared credits with many great actors, something that the French star was seemingly intimidated by initially.

season 9 is finally here! On Friday, ABC unveiled the first group of singles that'll be heading to the beaches of paradise when the show's latest season premieres Sept. 28.Contestants from Charity Lawson, Clare Crawley, Tayshia Adams, Katie Thurston and Michelle Young's seasons of are among this season's singles.

To drum up hype for EDGLRD, his new creative collective/design studio, Harmony Korine put one of America’s greatest living filmmakers in his sights. EW reports (via a new GQ profile) that, with the recent advances in gaming technology (the same Korine uses to make his new film “Aggro Dr1ft“), videogames now look better than movies visually.

The morning after his MacTaggart, Louis Theroux has called out the “right-skewing press” and “vested interests” who want to defund the BBC.

Harmony Korine has never made “normal” films. Even his most straightforward feature, probably 2019’s “The Beach Bum,” is pretty subversive by traditional standards.

Even before it was announced as part of the lineup of this year’s Venice Film Festival, there have been questions and anticipation regarding Harmony Korine’s upcoming film, “Aggro Dr1ft.” Was it really shot entirely in infrared? Is it just a stunt? How does Travis Scott figure into all of this? Well, we don’t have a ton of answers right now, but according to Korine, he’s not even sure anything like it has existed before now.

Taylor Swift knows how to deliver a toast
