Drag City to distribute Harmony Korine's 'Trash Humpers' theatrically.


'Trash Humpers' is finally getting an actual theatrical run, albeit a limited one, with the help of record label and all around extraordinary company Drag City. So far Madison is not yet listed in the opening dates but Chicago is with it playing from June 4–10 at the Gene Siskel Film Center.
The synopsis for the film reads:
TRASH HUMPERS follows a small gang of sinister, creepy 'elderly' peeping toms through the shadows and streetlights of a familiar suburban landscape. They drag baby dolls around on bicycles, bust television sets with hammers, slap big fat BLANK while proudly chomping down on stogies, and yeah...they do some trash humping too. Their behavior makes for viewing that is as compelling as it is unbearable - images that, in classic Korine style, scorch themselves on yer mind's eye, leaving you squinting for the foreseeable future.
