with ease

might be DiCaprio's best work

 

Oct 21, 2015

Wolf is top 5 Scorsese and Dicaprio's best performance.

 

Oct 21, 2015

i vote departed #1, wolf #2, maybe rev road #3

 

Oct 21, 2015

Rev Road was a massive disappointment as a whole, but no doubt it ranks with his best performances

 

Oct 21, 2015

yeah i remember being so pumped for it... just kind of a flat prestige movie... great acting from the leads thats about it

i recently rewatched departed and blood diamond. those leo accents, maybe departed shouldnt be my #1 performance come to think of it

Probably top 15-20 at the moment.

While I don't rank Spring Breakers quite as highly as @Vahn or @Pinhead, I do think it's a legit great movie and definitely in the discussion for best of the 2010s. Korine is a provocateur for sure, but I think Spring Breakers does in fact work as a constructive act of provocation. Aesthetically, it provides a certain cinematic bliss, but I found it to be just as thought-provoking as it is formally impressive. More than its superficial cultural signifiers, there's something that it captures in terms of mood and mentality that feels very of the moment and that I found to be especially astute in its depiction. I think this letterboxd review from Glenn Heath Jr. (a former Slant writer) succinctly captures it...

"In this postmodern acid wash nightmare called 21st century America, some of us no longer have the ability to register rock bottom. We just spiral deeper into the neon abyss, documenting our own demise by way of pop culture and ego and delusion. Complex emotion is meaningless. The momentum of deceit is unstoppable. Those contemplating the limits of excess are either delusional or weak, unnecessary, disposable. As a result, the Culture teaches us to be cold, unfeeling, and obsessive to the pursuit of nothing else but those boobies y'all. We are what we lust after, and we are lusting after self-destruction. Mission Accomplished."
