TRASH HUMPERS, a film by Harmony Korine
WORLD PREMIERE - 2009 Toronto Intl Film Festival
U.S.A/2009, 78 min, color
A film unearthed from the buried landscape of the American nightmare, TRASH HUMPERS follows a
small group of elderly “Peeping Toms” through the shadows and margins of an unfamiliar world. Crudely
documented by the participants themselves, we follow the debased and shocking actions of a group of
true sociopaths the likes of which have never been seen before. Inhabiting a world of broken dreams and
beyond the limits of morality they crash against a torn and frayed America. Bordering on an ode to
vandalism,it is a new type of horror; palpable and raw.
