Julien Donkey-Boy - Authenticity On The Fringe:
Ending our month on cult trash cinema, we're delving into Harmony Korine's underrated follow-up to his polarising classic Gummo, the Dogma 95 film Julien Donkey-Boy. Trauma, grief, dehumanisation, and the inability to adapt, Julien Donkey-Boy focuses on Julien, a young man with schizophrenia, and his family, living on the edge of American society where psychiatric support and opportunity is unavailable. While a bleak film, Julien Donkey-Boy is a source of empathy, sympathy, and humanity towards people that are left to fend for themselves.
