Harmony Korines debut feature is an audacious, lyrical evocation of Americas rural underbelly, and an elegy in the southern-gothic tradition of William Faulkner and William Eggleston. Shot in Korines 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-twentieth-century America.

Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives.
