Korine’s story Spring Breakers is a searing indictment of today’s hedonistic, nihilistic youth, and his script is loaded with sharp, telling dialogue that exposes the rotten moral cores of its characters. It’s hard to root for any of them, shallow and devoid of empathy as they all are. We are left to morbidly, voyeuristically observe their odyssey of excess. Korine brings an auteur’s sensibility to the film, using repetitive phrases and hypnotic slo-mo visuals, that makes us pause to consider the utter moral decay of the characters. But it also slows down the narrative in some ways and, in the case of the violent climax, draws attention to its implausibility.
Neon bright and all raw energy, Spring Breakers is a pulsating paradox of a movie, both a tangerine dream and a cultural reality check, a pop artifact that simultaneously exploits and explores the shallowness of pop artifacts.
