If ever there was a perfect film for our now-and-forever era of online celebrity and hedonistic “Look at my shit!” conspicuous consumption, it’s this dark ride Day-Glo-and-blacklight, road-tripping-balls voyage to St. Petersburg, Florida, and into the gaping hellmouth of “Woooo!” party culture.
Out for a good time, four all-American college girls gone wild are drawn into the orbit of James Franco’s cornrowed local rapper Alien, and a life of crime—until they have to be back in class, that is. SPRING BREAKERS was the first bona-fide box office success for true-weirdo filmmaker Harmony Korine and a movie that entered the public consciousness and left our ears ringing with the haunting cry of “Spring Break... Spring Break... Spring Break forevah.”
“Korine's masterpiece - it's remarkable how much more this film opens up when removed from the cultural zeitgeist that inspired it. It's a film about America and American youth upon the dawn of the 2010's sure. But it's as much a film - if not more so - about American visual and cinematic aesthetics. If not the ending - with its hooded Whites massacring African-Americans - or the shifting colour schema using predominantly primary colours (akin to the tinting of 1910's silents) it should be obvious from the opening - a college lecture on the Reconstruction after the Civil War...which the whites could not care less about, if they are even listening: SPRING BREAKERS is Harmony Korine's remake and revision of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION.” - Neil Bahadur
“This film is like a diamond laser transmitted from our present to the distant past of 2012. This is the future. This is America. This is Spring Break 4 eva.” - Will Menaker
