#LOVE GASPAR NOE 2015 SBS MOVIE#

He looks just as preoccupied and faintly ridiculous as anyone else in a hardcore scene while making his вЂOвЂ™ face. Glusman displays some capacity to act, especially in the last scenes where he has a theatrical crying jag in the shower, but in terms of the stated aim of showing sentiment during sex, the results are less convincing. WhatвЂ™s even more annoying is the way Murphy instigates a visit to sex club with Electra (at the suggestion of a friendly local cop, played by sales agent Wild BunchвЂ™s head honcho Vincent Maraval) and then combusts with jealousy when she, well, has sex there with other people. The only time he holds a camera is, you guessed it, to shoot footage of Electra lounging around naked in bed. A cocky, in every sense, young American in Paris who wants to make films, maybe even someday вЂњsentimental sex filmsвЂќ where emotion and feeling are expressed through the lovemaking (get it? Did you see what Noe did there?), he is, to use a British expression, all mouth and no trousers, someone who gabs a lot about the big things heвЂ™s going to do and yet achieves precious little. As a downbeat love story about romantic loss, itвЂ™s ineffective because itвЂ™s hard to get invested in main man MurphyвЂ™s ( Glusman) despair over losing Electra ( Muyock) when heвЂ™s such a callow jerk. Is it any good? Again, that depends on your perspective, and what you want it to do for you. Some of his hardcore fans will be direly disappointed. ItвЂ™s almost like Noe is trying to grow up, to move on and find a way to make films that wonвЂ™t revolt or disturb his viewers. OK, yeah, he clearly couldnвЂ™t resist yet another cervix-eye view of penetration, but the only physical violence is a drunken brawl over in a few seconds, and then itвЂ™s back to more sex and soul-searching. But for those whoвЂ™ve been keeping up with the shocking violence, the brutal rapes, the vagina-cam shots of penetration and space-age metaphysics of NoeвЂ™s work, Love springs the biggest surprise of all, putting almost none of that sort of stuff on display. That vast swath of Noe-virgins out there might be scandalized that a film could contain quite so many artfully designed shots of people copulating - usually in pairs, but also threesomes, foursomes and more-somes, comprising roughly fifty per cent of the running time - and yet still be considered anything other than out-and-out pornography. Obviously, there must be millions of people out there who have no idea who Noe is, who are entirely unaware of his reputation as CannesвЂ™ current enfant terrible in residence now that Lars Von Trier is presumably still banned from the festival for making jokes about sympathizing with Hitler. Granted, shock is a very relative notion. See more Cannes: The Red-Carpet Arrivals (Photos)

This may seem like a surprising thing to say about a movie that features a tight close-up of a penis ejaculating into 3-D space at its audience.

Indeed, by NoeвЂ™s standards, especially compared to his last Enter the Void, Love is pretty innocuous, hardly shocking at all. (The characters are played, respectively, by Karl Glusman, Aomi Muyock and Klara Kristin.) Like NoeвЂ™s previous effort, Irreversible, it tells its story out of chronological order, but if a hypothetical editor were to shuffle the scenes around, you could easily get a straight-up boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-pairs-up-with-a-second-girl-he-doesnвЂ™t much-love-and-feels-sad-about-losing-the-first-girl narrative arc. If you cut out all the sex scenes in Gaspar NoeвЂs Love, whatвЂ™s left is a wistful, some might say sappy, story about heartbreak - made with impressive cinematic elan but somewhat shallow emotional depth despite all its tragic posturing.
