I was lucky enough to catch Spring Breakers at TIFF last year. It's a very interesting movie by the same director, Harmony Korine, that brought you the raw Docu-drama, Kids that launched Rosario Dawson's career. This movie takes actors that you think you know and asks them to play their antitheses. Selena Gomez grows up in this film. Vanessa Hudgens does an amazing acting job and taps into her dark side in a well-executed way. But once again, James Franco, proves that he can do anything, and perfectly pulls off a white-trash rapper from the South. Despite what you've seen in the media and the exuberance of the poster above, this is a VERY dark movie. One of the darkest I've seen, with a very explosive ending. If you're interested in anti-films (films that break the rules of it's predecessors) you will enjoy Spring Breakers. The direction is real, and the shooting is raw. Halfway through, it may not even matter that these girls have been in their bikinis the entire time, because you would've seen other stuff that is more shocking. I enjoyed Spring Breakers for it's creativity. It's different. Very different. Check the trailer below.
