Destricted (2006)
He's lost it (possible spoilers)
This is hilarious to the point of making you cry. Gaspar Noe has compiled a series of exposures of sexual behaviour. The whole thing is packaged like a pop video complete with the inevitable strobe. I have to admit there were some moments that made an impact like the neatly clipped young men auditioning for the porn film, so sad, what are we doing? What is Noe doing making it all seem so beside the point?
In all Gaspar Noe has to be one of the most sexually explicit directors of the moment, but he does not seem able to depict sex with love.
In his films we are distanced from sex like it is strange packaged, a view of a lonely unfulfilled man perhaps. The man with the monster penis and the machine is a sight I will never forget.
Irréversible (2002)
How can films which promote sadism acceptable?
I cannot understand why so many people mistakenly see this film as artistic. The director has played a great trick and has released a depraved film which celebrates violence against women. How anyone can fail to see this film is blatant, homophobic misogynistic tabloid style sensation? There is even a dumb bimbo at the centre acting out a brutal sadistic rape fantasy for the titillation of the male audience. It would appear that now we exist in a world of silicone and surgery women are again mere objects for the director to abuse for his own personal satisfaction and to boost his career. A sorry piece of cinema which deserves to be dissolved.
