Next Monday night, there'll be a member screening of the new Harmony Korine movie, Mr. Lonely.

From the writer of KIDS and the director of GUMMO, this new, very original film concerns a Michael Jackson impersonator who lives alone in Paris and performs on the streets to make ends meet. At a performance in a retirement home, Michael falls for a beautiful Marilyn Monroe look-alike who suggests he move to a commune of impersonators in the Scottish Highlands. At the seaside castle, Michael discovers everyone preparing for the commune's first-ever gala – Abe Lincoln, Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Stooges, the Queen, the Pope, Madonna, Buckwheat, Sammy Davis, Jr...and also Marilyn's daughter Shirley Temple and her possessive husband Charlie Chaplin. Meanwhile, a miracle is happening somewhere in a Latin American jungle. A Discussion will follow with director HARMONY KORINE. Reception following discussion sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Co. & Valerie Confections.
