Harmony Korine, United States,20 july 19:00 Musgrave a; 28 july 22:00 suncoast A2012Long-time DIFF favourite Harmony Korine, returns with this wryly celebratory chronicle ofAmerican sorority culture. Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Cotty (RachelKorine) and Faith (Selena Gomez) have been best friends since grade school. Now they livetogether in a college dorm and are hungry for adventure. Easily Korine’s most accessiblefilm thus far, Spring Breakers keeps its distance from its protagonists just far enough toprovide a taste of the director's strangely upbeat nihilism, while staying sufficiently closeto provide a sense of intimacy and camaraderie amid their relentless shallowness. SpringBreakers was nominated for the Golden Lion at Venice last year. African Premiere.English, 92 minSUNSHINE BOYS21 JULY 12:00 MUSGRAVE B; 25 JULY 20:15 MUSGRAVE B;d.
