SPRING BREAKERS (2012)—Happiness is a Warm, Neon, Whisky-Coated Handgun

On this week’s deep dive, The Cultists Present Harmony Korine's controversial cult flick ‘Spring Breakers’ (2012). Booze, bikinis, pissing in the streets, temporal existentialism, Disney-girls-gone-wild, flirtation with French New Wave, Brechtian theater... this movie has a little bit of everything. The one thing this film doesn’t have is an audience consensus on what to do with it. Is this film—once described as a 'a sleaze-fest akin to Michael Mann on mescaline'—good? Bad? A shallow exploitation film? A masterpiece of cultural critique? A tasteless ultra-violent beach noir? Or a deeply emotion-driven love story about the purest kinds of love? The answer, it seems, is, “yes.”
