  A film suggesting Harmony Korine is comfortable with the label of provocateur...

Harmony Korine has been labelled a provocateur since he wrote the script for the Larry Clark-directed Kids when he was a baggy- trousered 18-year-old. Trash Humpers suggests he might be comfortable with the tag, because he certainly doesn't seem inclined to make an effort to shake it off. The film features a gang of antisocial freaks, who dry-hump dustbins, masturbate trees and bushes, smash things up, put razor blades in apples, drag dolls around behind their bikes, drink cheap booze, are prone to acts of brutality, and occasionally break into a song and dance number. This is committed anarchy, frankly, and, given that it is shot on antiquated handheld video, the film's aesthetic complements the disturbing sense of mayhem. If there's a suspicion that Korine is out to needle or goad an audience, those attuned to his dark sense of humour or with affection for his previous work (in particular, Gummo and julien donkey-boy) will find plenty to applaud here. Trash Humpers is a film brimming with ideas and invention, further evidence that Korine is a unique and vital presence in American cinema, and one of the most uncompromising and definitively independent filmmakers working today.
