They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl. Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night.
If it seems obvious to them that they have been drugged, they neither know by who nor why. And it's soon impossible for them to resist to their neuroses and psychoses, numbed by the hypnotic and the increasing electric rhythm of the music.
While some feel in paradise, most of them plunge into hell. Parental Guide. Just a pretentious art movie for me, nothing more, nothing less. Gaspar Noe is acclaimed as some kind of maverick genius but I'm failing to see that on the strength of this.
A group of annoying young hedonists gather in a warehouse to dance and take a great deal of drugs, with sex and violence inevitably following. I didn't care about any of them, and the film's power to shock is lost amid the over-stylisation and superficiality of it all. A group of dancers has a party in an empty school.
Things turn bad when their punch gets spiked. I love the energy of the dancers. There is great exuberance and they dance with abandon. It took about fifteen minutes before I realized that the movie isn't cutting. I assumed it for the rest of the movie and then it changed again. I wish they go for broke and do the movie in one take. It's hard to concentrate on any main character. Sofia Boutella is probably the only noteworthy actor.
Some of the others could do more. It's the filming style. They're not allowed to hold the screen and being non-actors, they can't grab it for themselves. Maybe they are better off as an amorphous mob. Again, that would work better as a single take. French film buffs will probably recognize more cast members than I did during these almost minutes.
The only name familiar to me is Sofia Boutella and she plays also the character that is closest to be a main protagonist and probably has more screen time than everybody else in here. But it is an ensemble piece for sure. This is about a group of young dancers practicing in a snowed-in house in no man's land somewhere, but quickly ending the practice and moving on to party hard afterward after a bit of talk.
It is very graphic again, this time more in terms of violence than in terms of sexuality. For example we have a relatively young child take a drink from sangria that is laced with acid and we hear him suffer afterward, perhaps die even. And a young pregnant woman is kicked and punched several times in the stomach, which was most painful for me to watch. Still, there are some boobs visible, but yeah that is all really apart from some making out.
We also see said woman cutting herself deep with a knife in her arms and also her face, which I found surprising as I could have expected this reaction had she taken from the LSD drink too, but she didn't, so yeah did not make that much sense to me. It is all about the style and the immediate reactions you are experiencing to what you see on screen. Which can be extreme. Search icon An illustration of a magnifying glass.
