“I’m a hero, I’m a hero, I’m a hero…– the main character repeats to himself AGGRO DR1FT, the best killer in the world, plays with his children and kisses his wife. When he kills by strangling his fat target, swimming in a puddle, a huge devil stands behind him: is this his protector, his inspirer, or his emanation? A question that can also be asked about the image that characterizes the new work of Harmony Korine, presented out of competition at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. The thermal camera with which the film was shot in its entirety captures this presence, these usually underground energy fields. The gaze can be lost on the victim’s last breath, a psychedelic smoke that not only enhances vision, but also changes it. Thus, one can see the angel wings that he will have to pluck from the bestial back of what he hopes will be his final target.

After trying to rev the engine main stream With spring Breakers AND beach bum, Korine returns to pure experimentation. Imaginary gangsta, played in previous films by Gucci Mane and Snoop Dogg, is brought to a boil until it evaporates. Cinema disintegrates in a fog a piece who soon takes the form of a titan trap and vocal psychedelia by Travis Scott (concert film also this year) Big Circus, signed with Noah, Refn, Johansson, Canada, Dosunmu and Joseph). He is Zion, another Afrofuturist reference to his imagination and serpentine nature, which suggests that Corin should do to movies what he did to music with Auto-Tune. Vision AGGRO DR1FT thus it becomes purely empirical. The narrative breaks down into phrases repeated like mantras. The frame is decomposed into a thousand shapes using 3D animation, thermal imaging and artificial intelligence. The venous network of the leg itself may seem to us like an electronic circuit and a wall of eyes that look at us with indifference.

These forces do not just strengthen the gaze, they change its coordinates, opening up to receive unknown signals. Their interpretation is not impossible, but at best redundant in relation to the physical effect they cause, that is, a real mutation. In the meeting of the eyes and ears of the viewer (the latter is bombarded by the extraordinary frequencies and notes of Arabic MUSIC) and the pathogenic agent AGGRO DR1FT there is reconciliation, salvation. “Killer Butterfly and Broken Saw. Zionwhispers Travis Scott, authorizing the return of technology to the heart of a man who has stepped out of the realm of domination and control. The eternal changes of nature permeate us again, and new, boundless utopias become visible.
