Spring Breakers grossed $31.7 million on a $5 million budget in 2012, turning Harmony Korine's neon crime film into a cult landmark. It cast Disney stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens against type alongside a nearly unrecognizable James Franco as the drug dealer Alien, and was scored by Skrillex and Cliff Martinez. Critics praised its style, a candy-colored, dread-soaked satire of hedonism and American excess, even as many found its content unsettling by design. The film has since become a defining aesthetic reference for the 2010s and is spawning a sequel, Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain, with an all-new cast. #SpringBreakers #HarmonyKorine #A24 #CultFilm #2010sCinema
