Celebrity impersonators live in a commune is Scotland. Michael Jackson is asked to join the group by Marilyn Monroe (the voluptuous and amazing Samantha Morton) who is married to Charlie Chaplain. The stooges are there too along with Buckwheat and Abe Lincoln (whose foul mouth adds to the fun.) Non sequitur scenes (some named by Jackson's songs) ramble along beautifully and take you to another reality. There is a culminating scene and "plot" but it didn't really matter to me. The gorgeous colors, bizarro events and a completely unrelated (as best as I can tell) story line about nuns in South America who can fly (encouraged by none other than Father Wener Hertzog) are the stars of this show.

Mister Lonely
Weirdo Harmony Korine is at it again and, if you can believe it, it seems like he has refined his technique. Far from the offensive, uncomfortable tales of Gummo and the troublesome morals of Kids, this is a fairy tale with 10 years on Gummo and a world apart.

What a cool movie. It was more like a series of performance art sketches and random breathtaking scenes. I agree that the story was not nearly as important as the imagery.
