Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely Trailer

Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely is his first film in a long time.  It's the story of celebrity impostors falling for each other in an almost magical-realist world.  I have the trailer for you all; and it's not even on YouTube yet!

I read the Wikipedia and saw the trailer and this is what I got:

An American kid, Michael Jackson, is lost...and he meets Marilyn Monroe and he gets found when he goes to this place where Charlie Chaplin, Shirley Temple, Madonna, and a bunch of other Jack Rabbit Slims employees live and see nuns falling out of the sky.  

Personally I think Harmony hasn't been making movies because he's been busy watching every film every girl I've dated in the past couple years call her favorite such as: Little Miss Sunshine, Lost in Translation, Me You and Everyone We Know, The Squid and the Whale, and Wes Anderson / Charlie Kauffman....

Remember when Jim Jarmusch made Broken Flowers so he could be all, "Hey Jerks!  This is how you should make the Bill Murray's a grumpy-old-man movie"?  Well, Mister Lonely seems to be Harmony Korine being all "Hey Jerks!  This movie, I love it: No CGI, no big-time budget, no wresting superstars, just pure subtle sadcomedy!

What's really neat is that I found a Korine interview from 1999 where he says he hates Fellini because it's not based in any kind of realism...
