    Kid's Alright...

    POST A COMMENT


    At the Tribeca Film Fest. this week: The screenwriter Harmony Korine -(for Larry Clark's "Kids" - about-out-of- control teenagers) - is in town plugging his new flick "Mister Lonely." -

    self described as "a perfect non-sense" - adds, he "has no interest in explaining his films. Rather, he prefers the disjunctions and dissonance that come from not knowing..."

    Yeah, there's an eerie sense of calmness in just saying I don't know...kinda sets you free to explore.

    I did like these words-of-wisdom from Mr. Korine: "Everyone always takes so much time trying to explain things and set things up," Korine said. "But I like the idea of just feeling things, letting it go through you. I don't understand why everything has to be explained or why everything has to make sense, or everything has to say something, because it doesn't."

    I buy that, because life...well, it's not all neatly packaged. And I'm all for celebrating the messy parts of human kind.
