Harmony Korine combines leering exploitation with pitch-black satire in
Spring Breakers, an audacious, sun-kissed nightmare that folds the director’s familiar flair for the surreal into a narrative framework that results in his most coherent (and accessible) picture to date. While it may be a bit of a stretch to claim that Korine’s vision as a filmmaker has “matured” given the amount of debauchery on display here, his grotesque caricature of youth pop culture appears to come from a more studied and controlled place than, say,
Trash Humpers, but without sacrificing the discomforting undercurrent of danger that runs through many of his movies.
