Noé has done it again, brehs. 
It's not as accessible as say Irréversible and it lacks the pure powerhouse camerawork of Enter The Void, but it's still an amazing work and another showcase of Noé's impressive grasp on cinema as an artform.
Much like all his other movies it's not an uplifting movie, although this time around the theme is certainly lighter. Which certainly brings in more room for moments of pure fukkery, such as (spoilers afoot):
There's also a lot of self references (the main character's kid is called Gaspar, there's a snobby pretentious art gallery owner with a favoritism for younger girls called Noé who's played by Noé himself, the model of the hotel used in filming Enter The Void is in the main character's apartment, there's a sex scene in a tunnel eerily similar to the infamous tunnel from Irréversible) and in some parts I guess it might be autobiographical. There's also tons of movie posters in the background (M, Salo, Andy Warhol's Frankenstein 3D, The Birth Of A Nation) and there's an entire dialog dedicated to Noé reminding everyone that 2001 is his favorite movie of all time and the movie that inspired him to become a filmmaker.
As far as the theater count goes, there were a whopping eight people besides me present, and they all stuck around to the end. More surprising was that half of them were black, since I can't remember ever seeing a single black person in that theater before (like I described somewhere above, it's a semi-arthouse theater mostly aimed at college students and uppity "cultural" liberals which is about as white as it can get).

the movie's first major sex scene (technically the second since the movie opens right away with a pretty graphic handjob scene in one continuous shot) is a threesome between the three main characters, and it is set to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain. So basically you got three scrawny white people fingering and fukking the shyt out of each other while Eddie Hazel is smoothly jamming in the background, and it's every bit as insane as you can imagine.
Which isn't even the most baffling soundtrack choice, as later in the movie the main guy and his girl go to a swingers club and the theme from Assault To Precinct 13 plays in the background the whole time in this five minute montage of people fukking. Safe to say of course, I marked out.
And there's the quotables. Oh glory to us all, there are so many quotables.
'I'm a dikk. And a dikk only has one purpose... to fukk! That's all I'm good for, I fukk things up!' the main character declares in a moment of poetic melancholy.
Later he's drunk and the guy (who's American) is arguing with a French police officer who tries to explain that you can't just beat people up because that's not how the world works, and he responds back with: 'fukkin' France! The last time you guys won a war was 1918!'
And then there's the most perfect usage of 'What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger' that I've ever seen. Because that's one helluva way to describe a guy's first experience fukking a tranny.

No, didn't even get as much as a boner.
I finally got to see it, enjoyed it to be frank, it was like a piece taken out of enter the void..the melodrama and sex of it, had the similar visceral touch that Void captured..lighting/tone..
Noe explains (in the interview he recorded for the screening) that he scripted this film while in france during the period that enter the void was in process but no funds was gathered yet..so he created Love or as it was originally called, danger.
and the 3D aspect of was wack, what was the point ? LOL..
I loved the art exhibition scene, the entire scene with the ex boyfriend etc..

Finally caught this, my favorite film of the year along with Mad Max. It's like Malick meets Von Trier meets the most elegantly shot porn ever made. If you've seen Into the Void, Noe takes what works there and really perfects here. I think he's one of the best working filmmakers right now to be honest.
Really wish I had seen it in 3D. Does anyone know if it even came to LA? I was always looking but never saw any showtimes.

pause 
it depends of what you expect from this delicatessen?damn damn i dunno if i should buy the blu ray. my mommy looks at my movies all the time
I watched it at an art movie theatre and enjoyed the experience.
the 3D was atrocious, not horrible like what i witnessed in IP MAN 3 but it was not worth the hassle.
I agree the film is visceral and beautifully shot and placed , the dialogue was between corny and laughable..but this what makes noe's film stand out ..Visuality and texture.
did you peep his interview before and after the film? he mentions enter the void and how this film was made/scripted during his time in france due to enter the void/concept/treatment being rejected etc..

yeah acting was bad, but it looks like he was using non-actors (models) and having them improvise - that was my only beef though
I'll look for those interviews later

I saw this like a month ago and thought it was "meh" 
Didn't really care for dude's story and regret about his actions. At no point did I feel simpathy, angeror anything towards him. Don't see anything remarcable about the movie
