GUMMO1997
The film
Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives.
This might be the most off-putting movie I’ve ever seen. It’s narratively aimless, it’s disgusting, and just fuckin weird. It was shot in Nashville, but the premise takes a such a shot at Ohio, I’m not sure how to not be offended. I was reading reviews afterward and came across this gem: Werner Herzog praised the film and talked about being impressed by the bacon taped to the wall during the bathtub scene. You gotta search online to find this.
