A great film... if you like Claire Denis and her flavor of exploratory sex & violence. I love Denis (esp. High Life), and this was no exception. Some clunky dialogue common for French and Italian films made in English. What's most impressive is the intensity toggling between extreme and sedate. It's a slow burn filled with violence that is brutal, sordid, but obviously a turn-on for some of our characters. My take-away is the question of how do we live with our lovers/romantic partners when something carnal and animal beckons inside us all.
I tired to like it, but I couldn't. There was very little plot here.
The reson I watched this movie was because of Vincent Galo. I really tried to like it, but sorry its wayyy too slow. I get it, but I dont. Too much missing information. The cinematography was excellent,. That just not enough for me.
this is more of a mood film than a true horror movie, but go into it with an open mind and whatever substance helps you chill out and you might be surprised by how much you like it. love the blood, and vincent gallo is the man.
2 stars bc I loved the poetic, artsy perspective of this, but truthfully this was super boring and I wouldn’t recommend.
