“A dick only has one purpose- to fuck...”
WHAT ABOUT PEE??? Don’t you PEE out of your dick???
You can survive without fucking, but you CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT PEEING.
If there's any filmmaker out there who has the vision and confidence to make the next 2001, it's Gaspar Noé. Hate him all you want, I sure as hell do sometimes (refer to my Irreversible review) but he's unarguably one of the most exciting filmmakers...ever? Yeah, ever.
I hate how this is getting labeled as just porn. The excessive amounts of sex is not the flaw of this film. The sex, if anything, tells the emotional arc of this shitty dude in a really interesting and clever way. If you're gonna make a film that tackles this idea and how it impacts someone psychologically, you're gonna have a lot of sex in the movie. That's just how it's gonna be.…
Gaspar Noé’s Love is anything but pornography. Pornography makes no attempt to delve into the psychology of the humans portrayed within; it contains actors as models, rather than actors as characters with any sort of depth. While Murphy (Karl Glusman), Elektra (Aomi Muyock) and Omi (Klara Kristin), the three chief characters, may not be the most complex individuals you’ll come across in the cinema this year, they still have hopes and dreams and aspirations, and undoubtedly transcend the notion of “the pornographic model” by a long shot.
Love has such a loosely constructed narrative that it’s difficult to summarize, but it essentially examines the mind and memories of its American protagonist, Murphy, now married and with a child, as he…
A pretty hack novelty. Not to get all manifesto-y here but the idea that unsimulated sex is something that's provocative in "real" movies is totally bullshit. I've seen plenty of artful straight-up hardcore porn films, and most of them are 40 years old. Watch one of those.
A bit monotonous, a bit too long, sporadically intense, and I fell asleep multiple times. Just like actual sex.
Congrats to Gaspar Noe for getting Cannes to accept pornography into the festival finally.
gaspar noé during that one scene: alright, kids! it’s time to put on your 3D glasses!!!
To anyone who dismisses this as porn, I’d like you to show me a porno that has an edit as brilliant as an accusatory finger point paralleled by an accusatory erect penis. Just as I began to doubt Noé for including a line as seemingly on-the-nose as “I want to make a movie that displays passionate, affectionate lovemaking,” the scene was followed by hateful, animalistic fucking. Without delving into pornographic territory, this reversal is impossible, and the hypocrisy of the lead is watered down. Maybe I’ll give it the extra star one day, but until then, the very least I can say is this is fantastic.
