Rather shocking short debut film by Noe. But that’s to be expected w/his films. There’s a lot to unpack in this 40 minute run time. All his unique & signature filmmaking is present here to be developed further throughout his movies.
Noe’s films are not for the faint of heart & are often disturbing, so be forewarned. His stories are well worth the journey to the dark side of humanity though. Also, this story is further explored w/The Butcher in his follow up film I Stand Alone.
Excellent review. Lots of info. Thank you.
Oh thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful. Have you seen any of Gaspar Noe’s movies?
No, but I might.
They do all seem a bit bizarre.
This is a good start since it’s short. His current movies are considerably longer than most films starting w/Enter The Void. So this would be a good primer to see if you even want to see his others. And yes, they can be bizarre. But I love unique movies.
Thanks again.
