Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Julien Donkey-Boy is a 1999 Avant-Garde Film by Harmony Korine. It tells the story of the titular Julien (Ewen Bremner), a Paranoid Schizophrenic man living in New York with his pregnant sister, Pearl (Chloë Sevigny, Korine's girlfriend at the time), his aspiring Wrestler brother, Chris (Evan Neumann), and their Robitussin swigging, gas mask wearing, Bluegrass listening to Father (German Director Werner Herzog). Also grandma (Korine's grandmother, Joyce). Supporting characters include a no-armed, relentlessly positive Drummer (Alvin Law), a Black Albino straight from Alabama (Victor Varnado), an innocent, near blind girl (Chrissy Kobylak), and a Professional Cigarette-Eater (Tom Mullica). Lacking a traditional narrative, Julien Donkey-Boy presents a series of vignettes following these bizarre characters in their daily lives.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Artistic License – Medicine: No matter how well intentioned the reason is, posing as a schizophrenic person's dead mother over the phone is heavily frowned upon in the psychiatric field. Studies show that playing into someone's psychosis will worsen their condition as it further blurs their understanding between reality and delusion.

Abusive Parents: Zig Zagging. At some points Dad seems eccentric, a bit stern, but loving, other times he's calling Pearl a "Dilettante and a slut," and paying Chris $10 to put on his dead mother's dress and dance with him. 'Cause he "Looks the most like your mother."

Ambiguous Disorder: Julien's father goes through extreme mood swings during the movie. When he's not performing strange acts like drinking from his sandal or dancing alone while wearing a gas mask, he's occasionally depressed for no reason and becomes abusive to his kids. He's also prone to go on bizarre tangents and will occasionally try to bribe Julien into dressing in his mother's clothes.
