Mister Lonely

Films that shaped it
-
Korine references films like Federico Fellini’s “La Strada,” Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s “The Marriage of Maria Braun,” and Werner Herzog’s “Stroszek” as key influences, but more than any individual film, it’s a sensibility that ties “Mister Lonely” to its predecessors.
-
He [Herzog] changed how I see cinema. Even Dwarfs Started Small is my favourite Herzog film... It’s a very simple story, and it's so beautiful.
-
I like films about beautiful losers, people on the fringes. Like Herzog's films, Stroszek and The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner – they're about people who are almost mystical in their madness, or in the way they look at the world.
