Why did he do that? Why would he think that would work? If there's a profound reason for those two editing decisions, I'd like to know. As well as the many shots of the main character standing inside a doorway with his back turned to the camera, listening to an annoying voicemail. However, I despised the black screen that would appear every time there was a cut. It's beautiful to look at, as most Gaspar Noe films are. The acting was extremely stilted, but in porn films that's pretty much the norm. This would've been fascinating, but instead, it's PAINFULLY boring. Nymphomaniac is the last film of the modern era that attempted this, and it absolutely blew me away. Not since the early 70's has pornographic films experimented telling actual stories instead of just getting straight to business. But there's a story, and that's what could be interesting about this film.

Yes this movie is uncomfortable, yes the acting isn't great and yes the story is dry, but it's a genuine take on what relationships look like for some people in their mid twenties to early thirties and I loved every second of it. In the vein of Harmony Korine and Lars von Trier I think Gasper Noe is a genius. I don't know if I have been in love, but I have felt what these characters are going through and I wouldn't know what else to call it. So many times have I given myself up for something that a year later I looked back on and couldn't reconcile my behavior, and so many times have I given myself up to something to only sabotage it before it completely devoured me. Love is completely all consuming on any level it's represented on. Their connection was what drove them into darkness, madness and despair. Love sometimes doesn't make sense and can't be described or made logical. Their obsession with each other and with sex that led them into a deep and possibly unreal infatuation was honest and thought provoking. As a grown single adult living in today's dating world I can attest that the relationship between Murphy and Electra exists. Lots of people may not be able to relate to this film however those of us that do can say that everything about this depiction of love has been experienced and is real. It certainly isn't near perfect but I felt very moved by the characters and their story. I know I only rated it a seven out of ten but that's because I admit this film's faults. Reviewed by sisilovesu 7 /10 This film is actually brilliant. I wanted to write this review because the whole marketing ("finally a love story restricted for -16) and shock value (an eye-rolling warning in the opening credits) have cheapened what this film has achieved and I encourage viewers to look beyond. And here, Noé takes that away which makes the film even coarser, and ultimately more brutal. Signs, metaphors, analogies, semiotic nausea. Raw sex is part of love, yet, films used to cut to birds necking after a kiss. Love stories are why you stick glued to a chair for a couple of hours. And it fights for that with it's magnificent camera-work and editing.īut what would this review be if it didn't talk about the 3D sex? Love and cinema are inseparable. This is a good image of what this film surprisingly achieves best: intimacy. You hear music banging inside the club, yet the lovers are outside in halflight. There's a resplendent simplicity here that hypnotizes the viewer.
Love gaspar noe 2015 how to#
You know their bodies and you know how to please them and above all, you know how to hurt them. Just like the sex you've had with your lovers again and again and again. The film features no highbrow intellectual conversations but instead, favors the same lines you've probably slung at your lovers. The film doesn't argue to be anything beyond a meandering stroll into the gallows melancholy.
And yes, during certain scenes people got up and left. The script is laughable and the acting (often voice-over), too. Reviewed by kevinjk1 8 /10 Forget the marketing and chatter, there is a real film here.
