Spring Breakers

It's not about the narrative, but when is it ever with Harmony Korine's work? Spring Breakers is a sumptuous piece of candy crime cinema that washes over you like a champagne shower. The woozy camera work, hyper-stylized visuals and repetition of key lines of dialogue make it one of the most mesmerizing films of 2013.


The leads are amazing, all four girls are fantastic and James Franco as the bombastic 'Alien' is such a joy to watch. From debauchery on the beach and all the day-glo bikinis to gun fellating and the Britney Spears cover, Spring Breakers is ridiculous in all the right ways.
