Deep down, people want to do the right thing
Before HARMONY KORINE went back to challenging film audiences with his latest provocation TRASH HUMPERS, he quietly directed some television commercials for Liberty Mutual.
It's true! Here, Mr. KORINE proves that his strange beauty is possible in many forms of media, and his wide-eyed sense of everyday weirdness is not diluted, even in advertising.

I'm Mister Lonely
HARMONY KORINE may have made one of the most delightful, oddly moving, and refreshingly unique films in contemporary cinema with MISTER LONELY. This is the opening sequence of that film, a celebration of the poetry of slow motion. Here's hoping KORINE continues to develop his peerless style of filmmaking.

Your favorite horse
This music video for BONNIE 'PRINCE' BILLY's remake of his own NO MORE WORKHORSE BLUES was done by HARMONY KORINE in 2004. KORINE is the master of the oddly affecting, whacked out image.
Here, he uses a cast of two shot with bright, sunny video tones, and chops it up using a two-frame stutter effect that is not unlike the 3-D simulacra-style used by video artist KEN JACOBS. The last shot sees a cameo by WILL OLDHAM, the artist himself.
