LOVE

DIRECTOR GASPAR NOÉ WILL BE PRESENT

Like any other day, 25-year-old Murphy wakes up. His wife is there. So is their son, 2-year-old Gaspar. Suddenly, an old girlfriend’s mother calls, frantic over her daughter’s disappearance. The memories flood back, and everything changes. This is also where love will sneak up and explode everything...

“Blood, semen and tears.” Such is Gaspar Noé’s cinematic mantra. Six years after the masterful, borderline shamanic experience of Enter the Void, the filmmaker returns with a “simpler” work that’s still plenty tense. A love story (for real) with sex (for real), in 3D — in other words, the ultimate fantasy of any self-respecting filmmaker. No doubt, Love is very different from other films. It has no fears. It’s a big, romantic film that, while celebrating love, also speaks to liberty, cinema, and art. It is the spearhead of a movement that insists on the importance (and normality) of seeing love when filming love. An existential trip that, more than ever, inspires the desire to love. And in this day and age, that’s something! – Julien Fonfrède.
