...directorial debut, Gummo, Korine attempted to "push humor to extreme limits" by provoking random passers-by into fistfights and then filming the results with hand-held cameras. The filmmaker's latest audacious feature, the uniquely bizarre julien donkey-boy, strips cinema to even barer levels. Starring Ewan Bremner ("Spud" from Trainspotting) and Chlo Sevigny ("Jennie" from Kids), the film provides a keyhole view into the life of a schizophrenic and his disturbingly dysfunctional family.

The film takes a sympathetic view of Leeson, which is fine; the problem is, it never offers a sense of the man behind the mania. What does come through is that Leeson ate a lot of candy during crises. Cadbury wrappers shouldn...
