‘AGGRO DR1FT’ Trailer: Harmony Korine’s Infrared Thriller Hits Theaters This Week

Harmony Korine is definitely a filmmaker who marches to the beat of his own drum. His films are often wild and subversive, toying with audience’s expectations of what the medium is capable of. And his newest film, “AGGRO DR1FT” is no different. In fact, it is easily his most unique film yet.

As seen in the trailer, “AGGRO DR1FT” tells the story of a hitman with a family, as he tries to balance his life as a father and as a hired killer. That doesn’t sound too weird, does it? Well, in true Korine fashion, the filmmaker has decided to shoot the entire film using an infrared lens. That means every frame of the movie is kinetic both in its action and its colors. It’s pretty trippy.

“AGGRO DR1FT” stars Jordi Mollà and rapper Travis Scott. As mentioned, it’s written and directed by Korine, who is probably best known for films such as “Gummo,” “Spring Breakers,” and “The Beach Bum.” Pro tip: if you want to watch a really interesting film from Korine, track down “Trash Humpers.” You can thank us later.

“AGGRO DR1FT” debuts in select theaters this Friday. You can watch the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis:

Breaking away from the traditional parameters of cinema, AGGRO DR1FT explores the onslaught of digital ephemera and interrogates modern life through the vernacular of video games. Shot entirely through an infrared lens, the film follows a Miami Beach hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target.
