Harmony Korine, Wearing an ‘Aggro Dr1ft’-Inspired Mask, Says He’s Developing Technology That Turns Thoughts Into Images

The actor and reality TV star were spotted getting cozy at the US Open earlier this month.

Depending on who you speak to, Aggro Dr1ft has either been a hideous blight on the fall festival circuit or… Well, currently, there’s not exactly a consensus on what there is to love about Harmony Korine’s in-your-face fantasia, a nightmare vision of Florida made all the more hellish by its refusal to resemble anything you might expect even — or perhaps especially — from the director of Spring Breakers.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Newer fans may not be aware that in the early years of his career, James Blake’s music was really, really weird. The largely instrumental tracks featured lots of blipping, angular grooves and warped sounds and voices that were initially totally disorienting but would always coalesce into something melodic or rhythmic (if sometimes testing the boundaries of coherence).

Kanye West and his ‘wife’ Bianca Censori continue making headlines, following a controversial moment in Venice, Italy, that caused them to be banned from a Venetian boat company after being caught in an inappropriate position while riding a boat. Fans of the singer have shown concern after photographs were made public, and now Bianca’s friends are also revealing that “everyone” close to her is “extremely concerned.”KIM KARDASHIAN ISN’T INTERESTED IN SPEAKING TO BIANCA CENSORI ABOUT KANYE WESTBIANCA CENSORI: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT KANYE WEST’S NEW ‘WIFE’BIANCA CENSORI TURNS UP THE HEAT IN BIKINI PHOTOS FROM HER MODELING DAYSA close friend revealed to the Daily Mail that Bianca has changed considerably since starting her relationship with the rapper, and it seems her friends have been trying to reach out to her.

UPDATE: The fun and games of the Burning Man festival continues to deteriorate. Now, one person has died, and reports circulating indicate a pit of misery, as a lack of food, water, and muddy conditions have made the event’s Nevada playa location into a hellhole.

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.

It’s a blooming mess at this year’s Burning Man festival. On Saturday, more than 73,000 attendees were blocked from leaving the event, as a rain storm turned the playa into a muddy bowl of glop.

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.

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.

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.

With six feature credits in the last decade, Pablo Larraín is among the most prolific filmmakers working today, but he returns to the Lido this week with a new proposition. 

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.

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.
