| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Only Harmony Korine (writer of KIDS, auteur of GUMMO, JULIEN
DONKEY-BOY) could weave Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, her
daughter Shirley Temple and flying nuns into a hypnotically
funny and truly poignant tale of the instability behind fanaticism
and the redemption we can hope to find in one another.
The film follows a lonely Michael Jackson impersonator (Diego
Luna) who is invited by a beautiful Marilyn Monroe (Samantha
Morton) to a commune full of other impersonators including
the Queen of England, Madonna, Sammy Davis Junior and James
Dean, in the Scottish Highlands. In a parallel story line,
the incomparable Werner Herzog plays a Latin American priest
who learns his missionary of nuns can literally fly.
