Gummo by Harmony Korine (1997). I had my first brush with this film tonight and it really does make an impression. It reminded me a lot of where I grew up and for that reason perhaps it disturbed me on one level. But then it is also a surrealist film, just too bizzare to take as complete realism. I know I have to watch it again (and maybe a few more times) before I can take it all in. Needing to do that is a sign it is a great film.
