We first wrote about Harmony Korine's Mister Lonely a solid year ago but the film has somehow fallen off the map here since then. Well no more! A reader just pointed out the official website and trailer for the celebrity impersonator driven film and the trailer looks - as you'd expect from Korine - like very odd but compelling stuff.
A Michael Jackson impersonator (DIEGO LUNA) lives alone in Paris and performs on the streets to make ends meet. At a performance in a retirement home, Michael falls for a beautiful Marilyn Monroe look-alike (SAMANTHA MORTON), who suggests he move to a commune of impersonators in the Scottish Highlands. At the seaside castle, Michael discovers everyone preparing for the commune’s first-ever gala - Abe Lincoln, Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Stooges, the Queen, the Pope, Madonna, Buckwheat, Sammy Davis, Jr… And also Marilyn’s daughter Shirley Temple and her possessive husband Charlie Chaplin (DENIS LAVANT)…
wow, what a strange synopsis
