“No mercy!” EDGLRD has debuted another extra trailer for Harmony Korine’s loud and obnoxious Aggro Dr1ft. This film is actually getting a quick theatrical release mainly at various Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas (and a few others), even though I hope no one wastes their time on this. Korine’s experimental, video game-inspired Aggro Dr1ft hitman film first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival last fall and I hated it – my full review. In this “sensual experimental elegy” by Harmony Korine, spellbinding infrared photography evokes a dreamlike portrait of a tormented assassin. It’s shot in and presented entirely as infrared footage, with annoying, blaring sound and music that will make you want to drive right off a cliff… Starring Jordi Mollà and Travis Scott and some other random people you can’t even make out on screen. It’s so terrible it even features A.I. visuals making half the scenes worse. I can only recommend not wasting money on this.
Here’s the second trailer (+ poster) for Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft, direct from EDGLRD’s YouTube:

Breaking away from the traditional parameters of cinema, Aggro Dr1ft explores the onslaught of digital ephemera and interrogates modern life through the vernacular of video games. Shot entirely through an infrared lens, the film follows a Miami Beach hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target. Aggro Dr1ft, aka AGGRO DR1FT, is written and directed by American indie filmmaker Harmony Korine, director of the unique films Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Mister Lonely, Trash Humpers, Spring Breakers, The Beach Bum, and Circus Maximus previously, plus tons of other short films and experimental projects. Executive produced by Olivier Gauriat. Made by EDGLRD. This first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival last year (read our review). EDGLRD will release Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft in select US theaters (at Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas around the US) starting May 10th, 2024 for one week only. Anyone into this?
