Profile of Mister Lonely

Mister Lonely can be described as offbeat, atmospheric, and humorous. The plot revolves around switching roles, lovers reunited, and gender bending. The main genres are drama and comedy. In terms of style, Mister Lonely is experimental and is surreal. The storytelling is slow paced. It is set, at least in part, in a palace, castle, or temple. Mister Lonely is located in Scotland and Paris. It takes place in contemporary times.

Summary of Mister Lonely

After the success of indies GUMMO and JULIEN DONKEY-BOY in the late 1990s, writer-director Harmony Korine's follow-up is this dramedy. Diego Luna (Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN) stars as a Michael Jackson impersonator who follows a dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe (Samantha Morton) to a Scottish commune filled with celebrity lookalikes. Cinema legends Werner Herzog and Anita Pallenberg costar.

neat idea, but it was boring. It's about a shared house on a farm but everybody there is a look-a-like. and there seemed to be this side plot with these nuns that is not explained at all. It really seems like scenes from two different movies were... Read and rate it
