Synopsis
Julien Donkey-Boy (1999) is Harmony Korine's experimental drama, available to watch online on iFILM. Shot under the strict Dogme 95 rules — handheld camera, no makeup, no artificial light — it was the first American film the Danish movement officially certified.
Julien (Ewen Bremner) is a schizophrenic man whose family never gets him treatment. He lives with his pregnant sister (Chloë Sevigny), a brother starving himself toward a wrestling career, and a tyrannical father played by Werner Herzog himself, often in a gas mask, swigging cough syrup. There's barely a plot in the usual sense; the camera just watches a family come apart over three weeks.
Korine fed dozens of film and video formats into a jagged, anxious collage of reality. This isn't for everyone — heavy, shapeless, at times almost unbearable. But for anyone drawn to radical arthouse and a view from inside a fractured mind, few films go this far. Stream Julien Donkey-Boy (1999) online on iFILM.
