Gummo (1997)
I.M.D.B.
Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives.
I expected it to go somewhere interesting but it never did. Some scenes were improvised, with 'actors' looking awkwardly towards camera for direction that never comes. And that sums up the movie, really. Everyone looking for direction that never comes. And while these strange people can be compelling, the story ultimately needs to go somewhere to be worthwhile. Extra points for some interesting work by Jean-Yves Escoffier as cinematographer.
5/10
