Trash Humpers
Trash Humpers is a 2009 American experimental black comedy horror drama film written and directed by Harmony Korine. Shot on worn VHS home video, the film features a "loser-gang cult-freak collective" engaging in bizarre and destructive behavior on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee.
Plot
The film opens with multiple shots of a gang of elderly individuals humping trash cans. The gang is then shown trespassing, partaking in vandalism, destruction of property and disturbing the peace on the streets of Nashville. They interact with a young boy, both mocking him for failing to shoot baskets and encouraging his own violent and disturbing tendencies. Two of the Trash Humpers stage a depressing puppet show about Chang and Eng; they later celebrate the birthday of their oldest member Buddy, who spends much of the celebration on the toilet suffering constipation.
