Will I like Spring Breakers?
Oh, boy ... maybe? What
you probably don’t realize
about Spring Breakers (at least
I didn’t before seeing it) is the
way the film is presented.
It has a traditional narrative,
I suppose, but it’s presented
in almost a series of montages
and glimpses into these people’s
lives — all the while accompanied by a soundtrack provided
by Skrillex.
14
What does that mean? Put it
this way: you’re never going
to complain about Spring
Breakers being “too wordy.”
We’re given the bare minimum
when it comes to dialogue enough to move the story along
or to be considered cryptic
or odd. And there’s perhaps
not one moment that resembles
“a real human conversation”
anywhere to be found.

COURTESY OF A24
If I am looking forward to Spring
Breakers as an “outrageous” comedy, will I hate Spring Breakers? A lot.
Does the Skrillex score ever stop?
No. Spring Breakers, in a way,
is one long music video.
17
Is Spring Breakers one of the
most fascinating things that
you’ve ever seen? Yes.
18
Does Spring Breakers work?
As a piece of performance
art, yes — it’s unbelievably
fascinating. It’s also unbelievable
that this movie actually exists.
What scene from Spring Breakers should
be included in every movie montage
ever from this point forward? James
Franco jumping around on his bed
screaming, “Look at my shit!”
20
What’s your favorite thing
about Spring Breakers?
High on the list is the way
Franco pronounces “shit,” as
in, “Look at my sheeaaat.”
James Franco
plays “Alien,”
a rapper with
cornrows.
