Love [Blu-ray]

Hopefully you know a little about the film history and subject matter that Gaspar Noe has focussed on in his career.The subject matter being love/grief (Love), drugs/death (Enter The Void), revenge/sexual abuse (Irreversible).In my eyes, Noe conveys these subjects, in his films, with honesty , conviction and a sense disorientating realism.'Love' feels real, genuine, personal. Its simplistic but deals with complex human emotions in regards to love, affection, grie and regret.Its not packed with developing dialogue, since its more interesting to understand this couples relationship simply by seeing them be with each other, letting us see their passion and also the deep regret he feel for losing her (not a spoiler)Maybe not for people who don't follow Noes work. But I just loved it and always look forward to further features.

Was this shown as a non competitive film at one of the French film festivals? I would not be surprised if some of the audience walked out, since this has a knockout porno start. The film dissects the course of a love affair between an American Film student, and Electra, which is beautifully shot and acted, although the best "Linklateresque" introduction bit was very near the end, since the time jumps about. This explained Electra's mysterious attraction to the rather volatile male lead. The actual story and acting was very believable as was the sex, which the best filmed 3D sex I have ever seen. Could have been cut down by 30 mins, and ending is a question mark.

I wasn't able to view in 3D so I didn't get the full effect but its certainly a great explicit love story and up there with Shortbus and Nymphomania as the more open way of telling a story. I didn't warm to the selfishness of the male character , he was very much a spoilt little boy nor did Karl Glusman give much warmth to the role. Still its an entertaining odd and expressive film , I am sure I will get even more out of it the second time around.

Not quite what it said on the tin! Long, slow and somewhat confusing. Not as explicit as the hype suggested. Don't get me wrong, we weren't looking for out and out Porn by any means but lets just say we weren't excited by it. Sorry!

Interesting Dvd not outstanding story wise but the 3d effects are stunning if you don't have a 3d TV I wouldn't waste my time with it. soft core porn. in 3d.

As a huge fan of this movie, THIS is the version you need to buy! Yes, it is bare bones meaning there are no special features but out of all the LOVE releases this one has the best picture quality HANDS DOWN and the 3D is fantastic. If you're a fan of this film you won't be disappointed. It's simply about first love and gaspar Noe nailed it

Although not entirely without merit, I found it pretty much as most of the negative comments suggest. It rates very low on the erotic scale, although neither is it just a cheap exercise in (soft) porn. No doubt it has some sort of message, and indeed the photography is praiseworthy - hence one star instead of none.Now the bad news: awful acting, turgid script, appalling diction (half of it whispered) and no sense of direction. I'm not quite sure whether the whole enterprise was intended as a hoax - or the writer/director was really in earnest in having created such a repetitive, unimaginative and pedantic film. There is absolutely nothing novel in the discovery by the protagonist that sex is no substitute for love, and what beggars belief is the mere idea that the actor concerned would even know what love is if it hit him straight in the face. A goldfish would have done the part just as well.Enough said. If you like dreary, monotonous films without any sense of direction that go on for over 2 hours with lots of meaningless sex (which perhaps is the whole idea of this film) this is for you!

The use of 3D makes the intimate interaction between people so much more real. A must see !
