Reviews

A must buy

"Once I received it. Immediately watched. Once saw it on film festival. Although it belongs to the screen, but if u missed it. Don’t miss it again. Don’t do that to yourself. Alone with special features is worth a buy."

— ShuehE W. (5/5)

Flashing Lights and Making Movies

"Movie: The introduction by Gaspar on the disc is so funny. At the end he says something like ~"If you're epileptic, just wave your hand in front of your face when the lights start " Extras: The Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome: Really great costumes and some neat visuals, but not enough to sustain my interest indefinitely absent a narrative hook. Luckily it's not feature length. I think it would've been fun to comment over with a friend or two. La Ricotta: Interesting enough, and there are some bits I found pretty funny. I feel like I might get more out of this if I had more Catholic context. Ray Gun Virus: Unique among things I've seen so far, and worth a watch for sure (*not* if you're epileptic). I'm glad it didn't go on _too_ long. The Flicker: A notable novelty. I respect the purity of the vision, although when you actually watch it I think it's too long. It could be half the length and I think you'd still get the same experience. Packaging: Bonus points for reversible cover. The artwork is great and I appreciate making the discs colorful."

— Gideon M. (5/5)

Gaspar does it again!

"Great film very experimental 100% worth a watch!"

— Brendan L. (5/5)

"Noes always cool"

— Matthew R. (4/5)

"Beautiful film"

— Jason S. (5/5)

An Epileptic Nightmare

"So I've already seen this movie quite a few times, but I had to get this release solely for the bonus shorts, especially Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and La Ricotta."

— Zakaria S. (5/5)

Lux

"Hell yeah. Gasper Noe are you alright?!"

— Dylan D. (5/5)

Epileptic nightmare

"Experimental visuals and narrative, as per usual with Noé, with a sub-hour running time that will still test the patience of most. The film has much to say, not least of all about the act of filmmaking itself, and while I greatly prefer Climax to this it is certainly worth a watch for fans who know what they are getting into."

— Alan H. (3/5)

Gave Me a Headache

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie that intentionally tries to give you a seizure before but here we are. Pretty good release with lots of special features. The movie will not be for everyone but I thought it was interesting even if I did need to take a Tylenol after! Check it out if you want."

— Aidan Z. (4/5)

Short but Noe

"Short, but visually stunning meta movie. Insightful into beeing a female in film business. Stressful as expected from Noe."

— Dominik W. (5/5)
