七〇年代美國中西部，在遭受龍捲風摧殘後的荒郊僻野底層地區，一對死黨至交成天無所事事，他們追著流浪貓到處跑，也在日復一日、百無聊賴的生活裡尋找刺激與快感。然而，胡作非為並不只他們，還有一個帶著粉紅兔耳的「兔男孩」、養貓三姊妹、登門賣糖的雙胞胎兄弟等人。他們都在這個被上帝遺棄的國度裡，各自朝著人生的「目的」前進，或是等候那可能永遠不會來臨的救贖。

《放浪青春》獨立名導哈蒙尼．科林的首部長片，即以驚世駭俗的挑釁情節，一舉入選威尼斯影展並獲影評人費比西獎榮譽提及肯定。如願邀得《新橋戀人》攝影師尚－伊夫．艾斯科費耶掌鏡，透過其恣意揮灑如畫筆般的影像，讓所有的毀滅、死亡、破舊、腐敗與醜陋，在這些無以名狀的底層角色身上，被賦予另類的神聖詩意，也呼應同期導演西恩．貝克直視邊緣人物的殘酷與純真。4K修復銀幕重現荒誕奇異青春。

Harmony KORINE's debut feature is an audacious, lyrical evocation of America’s rural underbelly, and an elegy in the southern-gothic tradition of William FAULKNER and William EGGLESTON. Shot in KORINE's native Nashville—standing in for the tornado-ravaged Xenia, Ohio—the rough-hewn film follows two young friends, Tummler and Solomon, as they ride around town, huffing glue and hunting stray cats, their every local encounter charged with vaudevillian anarchy as well as deep pathos. At once transgressive and empathetic, disturbing and undeniably beautiful, Gummo is a one-of-a-kind portrait of angelic and devilish souls caught in a cultural void, circumscribed by poverty and the depleted, alienated spiritual life of late-20th-century America.
