...talent. In his shockingly realistic screenplay, Harmony Korine, a Californian Jew who left home at the age of 16, captured the verbal rhythms and psychological nihilism of adolescents living at the fringe. In his 1997 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.

Cheese), Vaux nails home his point...
...After we picked the title, "Steak," we thought, people will think there is the potential to exploit it in a stupid, sexual way. But there are no sexual connotations in the names of our band and its members, just bizarre, random implications. So that when people see the lead singer is named Ribeye, they'll try to think of the implications, but there aren't any really...
