Repetition and boredom soon trump eroticism and for an age the affair doesn’t get any deeper than great sex – “Blood, sperm and tears: this is the essence of life!” says Murphy at one point.īut then Love stumbles into a tender sequence and Noé cuts out all the short, stabbing flashbacks and settles down to chart their story proper. Like his previous feature, 2009’s Into The Void, Noé doesn’t know what to cut and so includes everything. And this juvenile indulgence is found in the story too: Murphy and Omi’s son is called Gaspar, another character is called Noe, and in a scene in a porno shop Murphy extols the courage of porn actors to bare all (a nod of appreciation from Noé to his own stars).
The 3D is a lost cause, darkening scenes and faces past the point of visibility at times it’s here for one reason only: a close up of Murphy’s penis as he ejaculates onto the lens/over the audience.
This sparks memories of Murphy’s passionate but destructive love affair with Elektra (Muyock) who vanished when Murphy confessed to having an affair with mutual friend Omi (Kristin), a tryst that resulted in a pregnancy and a loveless relationship. There’s a message on his phone from his ex’s mother, asking for help as she hasn’t heard from her daughter in two months. His lover slumbers beside him and a toddler moans from another room.

While it’s hard to ascertain what is simulated and what’s not, Love’s opening scene doesn’t leave anything to the imagination and continues in that vein thereafter… in full blown 3D.Īn American in Paris, Murphy (Glusman) wakes one morning with a horrible hangover. Argentinian director Gaspar Noé has never backed away from tackling an awkward subject and here he attempts to address the lack of hardcore sex on the big screen.
