Short description
Teenagers Solomon and Tummler kill time in Xenia, Ohio, a small town that has never recovered from the tornado that ravaged the community in the 1970s.
What's left behind the scenes
- Actors for the film were cast during a long period of pre-production. Harmony Korine often offered roles to ordinary people he met in bowling alleys or fast-food restaurants.
- To give the image a yellowish tint, fluorescent lamps were used during the filming of the movie, rather than conventional lighting fixtures.
- The film's title uses the name of the fifth and least-known of the Marx brothers, who participated in stage productions but did not appear in the films that brought the Marx brothers widespread fame.
- In the scene where the father and son are arm wrestling, the bottles on the table disappear and reappear.
- While filming on location, director Harmony Korine and cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier (1950-2003) often had to flee from local residents armed with sawn-off shotguns, who believed they were filming pornography.
- Harmony Korine wrote the screenplay from the scripts of around seventy sketches about life in the small town of Xenia, Oregon, a place he himself had never visited.
- Chloe Sevigny was in charge of costumes. She found most of them in thrift stores around Nashville.
- Harmony Korine wrote the screenplay from scripts of around seventy sketches he had written about life in the backwater town of Xenia, Ohio, a place he himself had never been.
