This week's Staff Pick: Spring Breakers (2013)  Directed and Written by: Harmony Korine Cinematography by: Benoit Debie Soundtrack by: Skrillex Starring: Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, James Franco and Gucci Mane Legally Required to Mention that Characters Were Inspired by: Riff Raff Summary: "Four college girls hold up a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation. While partying, drinking, and taking drugs, they are arrested, only to be bailed out by a drug and arms dealer." Spring Breakers is my favorite American film, period. I've seen this movie probably close to a dozen times since it first came out and everytime I revisit it I am fascinated by some new element of the film. People hated this movie, and People are wrong. Notable talent involved with the production includes the cinematographer, Benoit Debie, who is known more for his work with Gaspar Noe on films like Irreversible and Enter the Void. The latter in particular extends its influence all over Spring Breakers, with the floating, carefree camerawork that typifies the debauchery of hosed up college kids invading spaces they never intend to properly acknowledge. There is an energy contained in the images of Spring Breakers that is hard to find elsewhere, which is why I'm so drawn to it. Also the music is great because its really lovely and that's funny. I chose it because Spring officially started yesterday and the following few weeks is primo SPRING BREAK time. You can rent it from like everything online that will charge you 3 dollars to watch a movie, stream it through Showtime if you have a sub to that already, or you could come over to my place since I've got the Blu Ray. You gotta bring the natty though Bro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJUQWQHC0vg --- From the Staff Picks Archives January 31st, 2017: Cure February 7th, 2017: Westfront 1918 February 14th, 2017: John Wick February 21st, 2017: Red Sorghum February 28th, 2017: God of Gamblers March 7th, 2017: The Autopsy of Jane Doe March 14th, 2017: Perfect Blue

Im looking forward to when this movie has had a few years to stew in the critical space and theatres start screening it again because I've only ever seen it once in a theatre and it was amazing

I finally got around to watching this again and it's still my favorite movie ever. Wasn't watching on my computer so I wasn't able to easily snag screenies but I'll probably scrub through it again this weekend and grab some stuff. I think the reason I love this movie relatively irrationally is that shots have a compositional quality I associate with slower cinema, and then non stop music video editing overwhelms me in the first 5 minutes and just makes me struggle with the presentation for the rest of the film. I wish this movie was 4 hours long instead of 80 minutes

It's also probably the best movie about video games anybody will produce for, im going to guess, 25 years.
