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.
