Preview: Love (3D) + Exclusive Filmed Interview
classified 18Please note: This was screened in Nov 2015
French provocateur Gaspar Noé (Irreversible, Enter The Void) continues to push the envelope with his most outrageous film yet: a 3D melodrama and no-holds-barred exploration of love featuring explicit, unsimulated sex. See it first at this special preview screening followed by an exclusive filmed interview with Noé himself.
Aspiring filmmaker Murphy (Karl Glusman) lives with his girlfriend Omi (Klara Kristin) and their unexpected child while harbouring deep fantasies about Electra (Aomi Muyock), the woman he left behind). As he revisits the erotically charged memories of their young, reckless love, he must come to terms with the damage wreaked by lust and the signs that led to their downfall.
Brash, bold, and impossibly honest, Noé’s ultimate goal is to declare that love and sex are one and the same. While, yes, there is lots and lots of sex between Murphy, Electra, Omi and indeed a reasonable number of other configurations - and there are some shockingly explicitly moments, these give way to a revealing examination of the nature of love and its physical expression. But, for all Love (3D)s explicitness, enfant terrible Noé has ironically made his most romantic film yet showing how sex is a vital part of how human beings connect. It feels like a radically intimate mission - and by the time the credits roll, we guarantee that one of the last film taboos will feel like the most natural thing in the world.
Followed by an exclusive filmed interview with director Gaspar Noé. Love (3D) then screens from Fri 20 Nov for at least one week.
