Mister Lonely

by DeAnn Welker April 29, 2008 8:00 AM

This one's from Harmony Korine, the wonderfully weird director who brought us Kids, Gummo, and Julien Monkey Boy. It starts out strong, with a Michael Jackson and a Marilyn Monroe impersonator sitting at a table together. No, it's not the setup to a joke. It's really how the trailer starts. She says, very seriously, "How long have you been Michael?" He guesses he was born this way. She's been Marilyn since she first got her boobs. She invites him to her magical world where everyone is famous. On closer look, it turns out Michael is Diego Luna, from Y Tu Mama Tambien, and Marilyn's played by Samantha Morton. In her magical world of impersonators, Michael falls somewhat in love with Marilyn (even though she's married to Charlie Chaplin with a Shirley Temple child). There are colorful costumes, circus acts and nuns jumping out of airplanes, so if nothing else, this movie's going to provide you with more visual stimulation than most anything else you've seen in awhile.
