  Review by karsten ★★★½ 25

  I was there for the premiere. I watched this with Gaspar Noé in the room. I cannot emphasize how unwatchable the last 20 minutes are. He wanted to clear out the theatre. Jesus fuck, my eyes. Literal paramedics waiting outside the theatre. That’s the review.

  Had a psychedelic trip to this and began losing consciousness in the theatre. Actually felt like I was in danger. Fucking transcendent. Fucking euphoric.

  FUCK!

  FUCK!!

  LUMIERE. 1AM. WILL NOT BE FORGETTING THIS.

  Gaspar Noé returns to finish off all the epileptic kids that Pokémon couldn’t kill in the '90s.

  Review by Warp ★★★★½ 9

  Noé can’t miss.
  A personal mix of a small cinema essay, a YSL promotion and a short mockumentary where a film set turns to hell. Visually not his best but certainly his most aggressive, the last 20 minutes are an intense spiritual trip. 

  The course of this film is again typical Noé, in which the audiovisual aspect becomes more and more intense and the stress and hectic pace increase. Despite the lack of sex, drugs and harsh violence it knows to create, mostly in the last half hour, that gloomy atmosphere you can expect from Noé.

  Rewatch value is high due the splitscreen and the fact everyone is talking through each other. There is basically too much to be seen on a first watch. Karl Glusman was also pretty funny, played almost the same asshole as he was in Love. Really loved this mesmerizing trip, the soundtrack is so atmospheric in combination with that hellish ending.

  Review by marcricov ★★★★★ 7

  A blissfully sardonic incantation of cinema that understands the process of artistic development as a self-sacrificial form of religion and exercises that very theory through burgeoning chaos to reach an ultimate state of spiritual purification and/or enlightenment. 

  God damn brilliant.

  the genuine fear of Hell weighted constantly on people’s minds.

  ❤️‍🔥Charlotte Gainsbourg❤️‍🔥

  shot straight into Lux Æterna’s vortex, a very chaotic, provocative, and draining experience; think of the dialogue conversation pieces in Climax and add psychedelic flashing visual assault that strictly aims to disorient and make your eyes bleed out of their sockets—it wouldn’t be a Noé film without the visual assault!

  Noé has proven time and time again that he knows how to provoke a certain reaction from people whether good or bad, it fuels him and he fucking feeds off it, but we’ve succumb to taking it all in. there’s a hidden deeper message here and it was screaming in my face during my second watch—once was not…

  Gaspar reached spiritual levels with this one.

  (Seen at Cannes, and I got to thank him afterwards.)

  Review by Doug Dillaman ★★★★½ 2

  The opening shot is a literary quotation that praises the joy an epileptic must feel before their fit. That this weird bit of fetishing disabled people is arguably the most offensive thing about Gaspar Noe's latest film is just the first of countless surprises. I would like to leave you to discover them, other than to say the following:

  1) Epileptics, STAY THE FUCK AWAY.
  2) This may be the funniest film I've seen at Cannes.
  3) If cinema is Noe's religion, this is his religious studies textbook.
  4) It's also his excavation of the core dilemma at the heart of cinema: you cannot ignore the legacy of pain and suffering upon which this industry is built, not just Weinstein…

  CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG IS JESUS

  
  Gaspar Noe, one of the most controversial filmmakers of all time is back again with a new experimental film to push the art of filmmaking in different directions and explore new ideas. The daring artist behind infamous projects like “Climax”, “Irreversible”, “Love” and “Enter The Void” has now created a new art piece titled “Lux Aeterna”, which presents two actresses on a hectic film set where tempers flare and confusion erupts, quickly spinning the shoot into a nightmare. This time Noe has an equally daring artist at his side in actress Charlotte Gainsbourg who stars alongside Beatrice Dalle with a supporting cast that includes Abbey Lee Kershaw, Karl Glusman, Claude- Emmanuelle and Clara 3000. Although the…
