The Lonely

A documentary portrait of the filmmaker Harmony Korine during the production of his third feature film, Mister Lonely (2007). Shot on location in Scotland, Paris, and Panama, each chapter presents the production process and the causal, day-to-day absurdities of the actor/impersonators featured in Mister Lonely. Throughout the process, as Harmony reveals his thoughts on the film he also reveals a part of himself.

Directed by Brent Stewart, The Lonely leans on a strong ensemble — Werner Herzog, Avi Korine, Harmony Korine — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2009.
