Why watch this film?
The name Gaspar Noé often evokes formal provocation and experimentation. And there is something of the latter here, with a narrative using split screen. Yet 'Vortex' is the director's most distinct - and intimate - work, in a diametrically opposite register to works like 'Irreversible' or 'Climax'. Here we follow the last days of an elderly couple (Françoise Lebrun and Dario Argento, the legendary director of 'Suspiria'), who suffer from dementia. The story is inspired by Noé's very personal experiences (his mother's dementia and his own stroke in 2020), resulting in a deeply emotional story that will shake you to the core.

Climax
Gaspar Noé, director of films such as 'Irreversible' and 'Love', arrives with a psychological and psychedelic horror, about a party with many young people, music, and a sangria spiked with LSD. The result is a true visual and sensual journey. We also have French actress Sofia Boutella, who has been making a name for herself in Hollywood, with 'Atomic Blonde' and 'Star Trek: Beyond' on her resume. It's clearly not a movie for everyone, but it will surely seduce those who want to dive headfirst into human excess.
Love
"Love" is a controversial drama film directed by Gaspar Noé that explores the complex and often tumultuous nature of relationships. The story follows a young American filmmaker named Murphy, who is torn between his love for two women - his ex-girlfriend Electra and his current girlfriend Omi. As Murphy grapples with his feelings, the film delves into themes of passion, jealousy, and desire.Noé's signature style is on full display in "Love," with the film featuring graphic sex scenes and explicit nudity. However, the director also manages to infuse the story with a sense of emotional depth and vulnerability, making for a compelling viewing experience.The film's cinematography is stunning, with Noé utilizing a mix of handheld camera work and static shots to create a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The performances from the cast, particularly Karl Glusman as Murphy and Aomi Muyock as Electra, are raw and authentic, adding to the film's emotional impact.Overall, "Love" is a challenging and thought-provoking film that is not for everyone. However, for those willing to take the plunge, it offers a powerful exploration of the complexities of love and relationships.
