I, don't know what this movie is. which part is the "movie", which part is the making of which movie, which part is real? it's like, this is a behind the scenes look at the movie "lux aeterna" that doesn't exist, but is at the same time the movie that you're watching. its a movie where charlotte gainsbourg talks about playing charlotte gainsbourg in the charlotte gainsbourg movie lux aeterna. it's impossible to tell what's real, what's movie real, what's real movie, and what's movie movie. if you email gaspar noe and ask him what this is he'll send you a dvd of inland empire and synechdoche new york playing simultaneously but with extra flashing lights and screams. Maybe just don't think about it and enjoy the very colorful ride. ALSO-- Don't come within 30 feet of this movie if you have epilepsy. In fact, even if you don't have epilepsy you may develop it from watching this.
Loved it. It’s 50 minutes long and includes the world’s longest and heaviest strobe effects so turn away if you’re light sensitive. At least 18 actors play someone of the same name — Charlotte is Charlotte Gainsbourg, Beatrice is Beatrice Dalle, etc etc — so make of that what you will. There are no boogie men here, because maybe the boogie man is you!
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Gaspar Noé delivers another masterpiece! Love the feminist lens the story is told through which gives notes of Sylvia Federici’s Caliban And The Witch, describing vividly how the patriarchy we have today (shown through prick producers) is a result of man’s domination over women through their demonization and exploitation during the femicide/witch trials. Also love the artistic yearning to do better by humanity.
If you want a headache good film to watch. Pointless annoyance, arguing and the last ten minutes inane migraine material. Artsy done terrible.
