Julien Donkey-Boy
Why this pick
Korine’s Dogme-shot follow-up shares Gummo’s abrasive lo-fi texture, fractured domestic world and unsettling compassion for people at society’s margins.

Trash Humpers
Why this pick
Its degraded VHS look, prankish episodic form and deliberately confrontational outsider energy extend the unruly home-video nightmare quality of Gummo.
03
Ratcatcher
Why this pick
Ramsay finds lyrical, sensory beauty in a poor child’s harsh environment; its drifting viewpoint and tactile grime echo Gummo’s mournful attention to damaged places.
04
George Washington
Why this pick
This sun-bleached Southern portrait turns adolescent aimlessness and derelict landscapes into poetic fragments, with the same mix of roughness, melancholy and strange beauty.
05
The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
Why this pick
A bruising, episodic childhood odyssey with unstable caregivers and raw handheld intimacy, suited to Gummo’s deliberately discomforting view of neglected lives.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A grainy voiced narrator (Solomon) recounts the events of the tornado while disturbing home-movie images play — mostly of the town's people. A Muteness adolescence boy, known as Bunny Boy, wears only pink bunny ears, shorts, and tennis shoes on an overpass in the rain.
