What’s more terrifying than psychedelic-induced dance murder?? Getting sucked into the underbelly of Tokyo? Filmmaker Gaspar Noe is back with a new film which stars none other than Dario Argento (famed director and actor) and tells the story of an aging couple in a Paris apartment as the mother (Françoise Lebrun) faces advancing dementia. As one commenter puts it:
“There is no blood, no cum, no physical violence, but yet this is truly the most thought and hardest Gaspard Noe movie to watch. What a masterpiece.”
The father (played by Argento) tries to care for her while dealing with his own declining health, and their son (Alex Lutz) does his best in spite of his own significant personal problems. Apparently, it’s not meant to be as punishing as Noe’s other films, rather, the director finds ‘a level of compassion and tenderness that sacrifices none of the visual excitement that has marked his best work.’ Interesting and unexpected.
