Though one could argue [[MaleGaze the camera angles and shots in that movie]] [[AllMenArePerverts were indicative enough.]]

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


His films have a tendency to bend, break or otherwise [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] Traditional Narrative. They also tend to deal with [[RefugeinAudacity taboo]], [[{{Squick}} unpleasant]] or otherwise [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible esoteric]] subject matter. As such, his body of work could most definitely be described as polarizing.

** His collage film ''Diary of Anne Frank Pt II'' has never resurfaced since it premiere, with only an [[http://www.harmony-korine.com/paper/index/i_anne.html article]] on his website as proof of its existence.
** He wrote a screenplay for a movie called ''What Makes Pistachios Nuts?'' but the computer it was stored in was destroyed in a house fire before he could find a potential studio to greenlight it.
** In 1999 he began filming a movie called ''Fight Harm'' where he would provoke passers by to fight him, describing it as a cross between Creator/BusterKeaton and a snuff film; however he was forced to abandon production after sustaining too many injuries while filming. Only one minute of the 17 minutes of film captured has [[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwiChaqB98fjAhVTOH0KHcbYArIQxa8BCDIwBQ&usg=AOvVaw0VTJzWxrN8ZFOD4xbU2nov surfaced]].



* NonActorVehicle: He tends to cast non actors into small or supporting roles in his movies, However for his directorial debut ''Film/{{Gummo}}'', nearly the entire cast is made up of either personal friends or strangers Harmony met on the street. In fact the actors for Tummler and Solomon were hired after Harmony saw them on a TV report about kids being addicted to huffing paint.



* PromotedFanboy: For both him and Werner in ''Film/JulienDonkeyBoy'' and ''Film/MisterLonely''. Harmony's directing style was heavily influenced by Werner's films while Werner was a huge fan of Harmony's first film.

Added DiffLines:

* FriendlyFandoms: He shares this with both Creator/WernerHerzog and Creator/JohnWaters. The former because of the loose documentary-like narratives of their films; and the latter because of the extreme amount of {{Squick}} in their works.

* ThrowItIn: He admits that he often ignores writing dialogue in his screenplays and encourages his actors to improvise their scenes instead; saying that the effect makes his already narative-subverting films feel "more alive".

* AffectionateParody:
** ''Film/TrashHumpers'' is meant to be this for underground cinema of the 80's and 90's, as it was shot on a worn out VHS tape and was originally slated to be given a DirectToVideo release by placing blank tapes in random public locations without context.

* NoBudget: The budgets of his films range from modest to incredibly low, with most of the money usually going towards their AllStarCast. Despite this, nearly all of them (aside from ''Film/{{Kids}}'' and ''Film/SpringBreakers'') fail to make back even a fraction of the money spent on making them.
