We salute the film’s legacy, and our continued fascination with its star, Chloë Sevigny.
by Amanda Fortini,"Going Home With Chloë Sevigny"? What more is there to say about Chloë in general, whose status as"the coolest girl in the world" was cemented way back in 1994 in Jay McInerney's profile, and has continued long after her 40th birthday? Saying that Chloë is cool is like saying that water is wet, or like saying that, as a supposedly hipster art-graduate chick in my late twenties,think that Chloë's cool.
Chloë Sevigny — like Joan Didion, or the humble avocado, or the films of David Lynch — is one of those things that we all like. A cliché that has become a cliché because it is unequivocally pleasurable, or hip, or perfect in its assemblage. She's a human Velvet Underground album. If the film has a narrative, it's the story of two young boys who kill cats, and then sell them for meat. A man is pimping out his disabled sister. It is, in today's parlance,"problematic.
,"and it's a film that people aren't sure how to relate to. It's an amazing, funny, and hilarious movie. I think it's a beautiful movie, and itbeautiful, and everything. All the kids that I know who saw it, loved it." Harmony shoots her throughout either like she's astar, or like a man in his twenties might shoot the cool girl that he's crazy about. There may not be a difference. A new book by the critic Charlie Fox, called, and Chloë, and Harmony.
"I was born Harmony and it was weird because when I was a little kid, I was picked on so much that when I was 13 I changed my name to Harmful," Korine told Roger Ebert at Cannes in 1995."I thought it was a tougher name, so I had it legally changed. And then, I don't know, it just didn't seem to catch on, so ... legally, my name is still Harmful, but I just said I'll go back to Harmony.
