“Well, I donu0026#39;t really understand why Mister Lonely has such a low rate on IMDb.com… I guess that if you go and see an Harmony Korine film you should expect a bit of noncontinuous plot and a considerable touch of black humour. People were laughing all the time yesterday at the cinema, actually it is pretty funny to see the Pope holding a glass of wine in his hand or simply a: man imitating Micheal Jackson riding a tiny motorcycle dragging a monkey puppet that floats in the air… This film has the finest unreal set Iu0026#39;ve ever seen in a movie (Check the plot summary too get an idea). Even if doesnu0026#39;t have the complexity of Dogville or American Beaty, itu0026#39;s a perfect representation of the eternal question u0026quot;Who are we?u0026quot;. Are we what we represent? Are we what we try or wish to be? And finally: Is there a god? To be honest, I think that a film about this kind of stuff deserves a decent rate. Also because it is absolutely well crafted and good-looking. It has got everything Korine is all about: weirdness, uncomfortable situations, disappointment and spirituality. If you are in the mood for a proper u0026quot;artu0026quot; movie, check it out.”
