If you loved Gummo, try The Beach Bum

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Harmony Korine, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gummo, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Beach Bum is

Harmony Korine seemingly wondered what it would be like if he filmed a screensaver. Matthew McConaughey plays Moondog, a freewheeling burnout poet, adrift in the Florida Keys. It certainly exists.
