This narrative features an all-star cast: Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, James Dean, Madonna, the Three Stooges, etc. Yet they just can't lift it out of the deep mire of introspection set at an impersonator's commune in France. It's a portrait of sadness. Will they find salvation? When nuns fly.
Mister Lonely
2008, 108 minutes, directed by Hormony Korine
Note: During the Q&A, someone noted the director's earlier work and asked why this one was filled with so much more hope. Apparently his last one was truly fucking depressing to make this one seem light in comparison.
