Foot-Foot, where you been? You smell like a dookie, girl.

Rated R for pervasive depiction of anti-social behavior of juveniles, including violence, substance abuse, sexuality and language.

The RWC crew had forgotten how good Gummo is. Gummo is a 1997 cult film written and directed by Harmony Korine (writer of another cult movie ‘Kids’). The film has two threads one being part documentary/vignettes and the other having a loose linear narrative. The title is supposedly derived from Gummo Marx, the least known of the Marx Brothers, who quit the act before they became famous.

Set in Xenia, Ohio (not to be confused with Xena Warrior Princess) the film follows several main characters but really focuses in on two adolescent boys, Tummler and Solomon. The film unravels to reveal the boys as twisted cat killers out to make a buck. The story is interrupted by vignettes depicting the other disturbing backwater characters of the town.

Most of the actors in the film had little or no experience. The exceptions include director Harmony Korine's long-time girlfriend Chloë Sevigny and Linda Manz. Korine also handed out cine cameras to the locals and got them to film footage of there everyday lives which are then included in the final edit.

Sevigny was also in charge of costumes for the film, reportedly purchasing the majority of the costumes at a local thrift store to preserve authenticity. The scene in which roaches crawl out of holes in a wall was filmed in a real roach-infested home. The whole film is grimey. Xenia, Ohio is a grotesque circus and not a place the RWC crew would like to visit unless they are in an impenetrable glass bubble. Everyone in this movie was dirty...
