Harmony Korine's 'Aggro Dr1ft' aspires to be a new kind of post-movie non-film, but for something featuring a neon-orange Travis Scott on a speedboat full of mercenaries in demon masks, it's just boring.
There were rules: Korine could only egg on people bigger than him, and he could never throw the first punch. It’s a posture he has been perfecting throughout his career: a provocateur who is also on the defensive, an instigator who can roll over and play victim. Here is a guy who literally begs to get punched in the face. But take the bait, and he wins. This attitude makes Korine’s films extremely frustrating to write, or think, about.
Yet they are still movies. It’s a matter of basic ontology. Adding sardines or pickled figs to a birthday cake does not make it not a birthday cake. It just makes a different kind of birthday cake. So it goes with Aggro Dr1ft, the movie. Of course, acknowledging this feels like playing into Korine’s hands.
