History Film / MisterLonely

* BestialityIsDepraved: Buckwheat seems malignly obsessed with chickens...

* FourLinesAllWaiting: Unusual in that there's only two parallel storylines, but the A-Plot involving the CelebrityImpersonator commune and the B-Plot involving the Skydiving Nuns are cut-between so evenly there's a bit of waiting for both of them.

* TheCameo: Two of Korine's idols; WernerHerzog, who'd previously appeared in Korine's ''Film/JulienDonkeyBoy'', and Leos Carax, who's ''Les Amants du Pont-Neuf'' Korine cited as an inspiration. Also cast is Carax's frequent leading man, Denis Lavant.

Boasting Korine's largest budget yet, and the first of his movies to feature his wife, Rachel Korine, ''Mister Lonely'' bears little resemblance to anything else in the Writer-Director's filmography. [[{{Trash Humpers}} Where he would go ''next'', however...]]

* OddballInTheSeries: In addition to sporting very little of Korine's usual quirks, it's his only film not set in the United States or dealing with "The American Landscape", as he calls it.

* CreatorBreakdown: Korine: "I'd been making movies since I was virtually a kid, and it had always come very easily. At a certain point after the last movie, I started to have this general disconnect from things. I was really miserable with where I was. I began to lose sight of things and people started to become more and more distant. I was burnt out, movies were what I always loved in life and I started to not care. I went deeper and deeper into a dark place and to be honest movies were the last thing I was thinking about - I didn't know if I was going to be alive. My dream was to evaporate. I was unhealthy. Whatever happened during that time, and I won't go into the details, maybe it was something I needed to go through." ''Mister Lonely'' has been said to be his working through all that.

* CelebrityImpersonator: Most of the cast, discounting the side-movie with the Nuns. Korine was inspired by the "Obsessive Nature" of Celebrity Impersonators.

''Mister Lonely'' is a 2007 Independent Drama written and directed by Creator/HarmonyKorine. A (Relatively) straightforward outing for the [[LeFilmArtistique notoriously]] [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible opaque]] filmmaker, it tells the story of a lonely MichaelJackson impersonator (Diego Luna) living in Paris. Confused, adrift, and terrified of death, he happens to meet the acquaintance of a cheery, idealistic MarilynMonroe Impersonator (SamanthaMorton), who invites him back to her castle in the Scottish Highlands, where she and a [[RagtagGroupOfMisfits whole clan of Celebrity Impersonators]] live in peace and [[IncrediblyLamePun harmony]].

Meanwhile, a Priest (Played by Korine-regular WernerHerzog) and a handful of Nuns operating in an unnamed BananaRepublic discover a peculiarity that just may be DivineInspiration.
