| Ewen Bremner in Julien Donkey-Boy |
Cast: Ewen Bremner, Chloë Sevigny, Werner Herzog, Evan Neumann, Joyce Korine. Screenplay: Harmony Korine. Cinematographer: Anthony Dod Mantle. Film editing: Valdis Óskarsdóttir.
Between a grim start and a bleak ending, Julien Donkey-Boy is an eye-straining and soul-bruising excursion into the lives of Julien (Ewen Bremner), a schizophrenic teenager, and his not very supportive family: an abusive father (Werner Herzog), a pregnant sister (Chloë Sevigny), a confused brother (Evan Neumann), and a remote grandmother (Joyce Korine). It's a kind of masterpiece of cringe.
