synopsis
An official companion piece to Harmony Korine's third feature outing, Mister Lonely, The Lonely carries viewers behind the scenes of Korine's film for a firsthand glimpse of the movie's production. Korine brought in Nashville-based documentarist Brent Stewart to both film and shoot stills on the Scottish Highlands set; Stewart thus provides audiences with a window into Korine's unique approach to production, and profiles a surrealistic production environment that witnesses the sun setting at 2am nightly, swarms of biting flies attacking the cast and crew, and celebrity impersonators running amok.
