Interested with an unexpected turn

This is the first Gaspar Noe film I watched and, for a first impression, I feel it may have been too intense with the flashing lights that almost gave me an epileptic seizure. Which may have been different on another day, perhaps without a hangover the experience is better. I am not usually a huge fan of films about making films, they often feel as though the director does puts too much focus on the film-making process and drama within, which is personal. However, this film in particular managed to keep a lot of its content open to interpretation, making it somewhat more relatable to the viewer. The beginning was much more easier to get into, while the rest evolved into an disturbingly unsettling art installation. When watching alone, making sure you are not the slightest bit epileptic unless you honestly enjoy the thrill of seizures.

Far From Bewitching...

... though it may just get you twitching.

A number of patients in a high security psychiatric hospital decide to make a short film. Conscious of the fact that in medieval times they would most likely have been considered witches or warlocks, since their behaviour could only be interpreted as such during those times, they place the punishment for such behaviour at the centre of their creation.

Fortunately, as luck would have it, the split screen personality allows the viewer to gorge on twice as much pagan pantomime than would normally be recommend but, since this piece occupies slightly less than an hour, they just about get away with it, although that may depend on the medication you're currently prescribed.

You'll be pleased when the credits role, although it's unlikely you'll make it through to the end.

Visually Stunning. Interesting Look at Cinema and Humanity

This was a movie that when I saw it was from Gaspar Noé and coming to the Gateway Film Center, it had my attention. Reading through the synopsis and checking the genres, I thought that it could be horror or at least adjacent. It also featured Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg, I was in.

What I should say next is that this isn't a horror film. It does have elements though. This movie is about making a movie. Dalle and Gainsbourg play themselves. The first part is them chatting about different movies and experiences they've been on. They are both in this production that is borrowing from Haxän, which is a documentary/dramatization of witchcraft throughout the ages. This moves into a surreal situation to end the movie as they film the scene with Gainsbourg, Abby Lee and another actor as they're 'burned' at the stake for the movie.

The movie has a feeling of dread. We see that the production of the movie is troubled. Dalle is the elder actor and she butts heads with the director who in turn wants her off the project. He takes this to the executive producer. We have a guy who is trying to pitch an idea of a role in his feature film debut to Gainsbourg and Lee. This annoys both as it is unprofessional. Gainsbourg learns a horrific thing might have happened to her daughter and she is torn what to do. The tension just builds until the climax. It is interesting as well since this runs 51 minutes.

This movie does get some of that Noé flair. He is a bit over the top at times, but I respect his style. The acting is natural as playing caricatures of themselves. The visuals here are amazing. That is the biggest take away for me. I enjoy the message we are conveying here both on the surface and underneath. This won't be for everyone though. This is arthouse. It is short, so keep that in mind. It is an interesting ride for sure.

My Rating: 8 out of 10.
