Harmony Korine Says Hollywood Is Starting to ‘Crumble Creatively’ While Smoking Cigar at Venice Press Conference: ‘Movies Are No Longer the Dominant Art Form’


While premiering his latest experimental project 'Baby Invasion' at Venice, Harmony Korine said Hollywood will soon 'crumble creatively.'

Harmony Korine doubled down on his thoughts about the current state of the movie industry at a Venice press conference on Saturday, saying that we’re “starting to see Hollywood crumble creatively” because it’s “so locked in on convention.” As he puffed on a cigar, causing smoke to invade the conference room, Korine — seated next to his designer Joao Rosa and a neon green-masked Gaspar Noé — waxed lyrical about how the movie industry is misusing its youth. Korine is on hand to premiere “ Baby Invasion,” his latest experimental — and experiential — project after last year’s “Aggro Dr1ft.” He teased that festival audiences will only be getting a “base layer” of the overall experience that that will be offered once the movie comes out.
