I really liked the chakra pron idea, with flows of energy emanating from the navel chakra.

like a translinguistic psychofluid or something?

I'm not sure that's what Gaspard Noe meant but from the moment you consider this film to be ontologically psychedelic, then I guess it's possible. I think he just wanted to underline the power of sex (you'll see how it integrates in the movie)

I'm not normally into getting stoned before a movie, but this looks like an exception.

close enough.

fagots i need irreversible streamed NOW plz help me i kant find

this movie sounds right up my alley.

the first 30 minutes to an hour of irreversible are some of the most well directed moments and most thrilling. going through the hallways, flashing lights, running around the streets, shouting, tilting camera, that droning sound in the club. so good. the rape scene was a bit much, i guess, but it fit.

this new one sounds very interesting.

style over substance is a valid criticism when it comes to noe. he seems to want to (consciously or unconsciously) merge high art and exploitation.. an interesting concept, but hes not always successful.. kubrick seems to be a favorite of his i think that theres some similarity. the main criticism of kubrick is that he was all technical ability and no soul. i think you might be able to say something similar about noe.. although i might argue that (as with kubrick) meaning can be derived from the sheer amount of technical effort and ability (if that makes any sense). only time will tell if hes a serious artist or just simply the king of eurotrash.. at least his films are interesting to look at, which is more than i can say about most.. 'irreversible' wasnt as good as 'i stand alone'...

i was going to say - his style reminds me very much of kubrick.

kubrick is all about fucking rock and roll, high budget hardcore awesome "big" shit, you know what i mean? like the blood out of the elevator, the slow motion, just straight classic scenes.

the whole "enter" "the" "void" thing is very kubrick as well.

certainly a serious artist in my opinion. i find his work to create an awesome feeling when you watch it, like a rush, and an admiration for his ability to get your mind moving and your excitement flowing. cool stuff. also a bit too shocking at times, which is sort of a drawback for me with irreversible.

i would like to see i stand alone.

happycase, go rent irreversible. it is worth seeing in full quality.

just watched the rape scene, only thing i could find.

i think the point was made when he starts punching her

and it gets fucked up when he beats her forehead into the ground.

it was too much but i think without that shit it risks being sexy and not horrific.

What the fuck are you on? no really, what the fuck? Kubrick a show off, throwing "big" shit at the screen? You mean fucking 30 seconds on 1 movie in his entire repertoire? What do you even know about cinema? Slow motion in Kubrick, there's like 1 out of each 500 shot that is one.

Have you ever even seen Barry Lyndon before spouting such non-sense? 2001 if you taking out the interstaller voyage, it's a great "awesome big shit2 high budget hard? Uh lol Spartacus? Dr. Strangelove? Paths of Glory? Eyes Wide Shut?

I'm with you for the most part Mr Glass, but Kubrick, when he had the money, he would spend it... although not for reasons specified by Vamos, I believe, mostly just to poke fun back at the hilarity of hollywood/producers. The most vivid example being the $750,000 hamster wheel in 2001.

one things for sure, noes nowhere near as intelligent as kubrick. he seems really intuitive and kubrick was all icy intellect.

ohh fasho'

i won't waste my time tearing you apart "Philip Glass," it is the passage of time which will reveal you as an ass.

Judging from the trailer, it looks as if the entire film is over-the-shoulder shots and first person perspectives. Interesting.

Amazingly, did you know Boll has a Doctorate in literature? Guy sure doesn't do much for the concept of the Ph.D as the highest and most honorable academic degree hahahaha!

Having a PhD in anything doesn't really mean that person is smart. There are tons of PhD's that are dumb as dirt.

It's pretty nice but 1h too long.

i saw this tonight. after seeing the trailer a while back it had not left my mind.

for people who haven't seen it but are well aware of it / looking forward to seeing it:

it is not quite what the trailers make it out to be. the previews we've seen make it seem like an intense pulsing acid/e trip that is "fast." i think it would be beneficial to expect something more like a droning, eternal acid trip.

read this after to share thoughts

I got stoned, thought it was too long and drawn out. The story arch worked but it wasn't a whole movie's worth of story. I was happy when it ended. Then it started again. And that.

Recommended!

i've been thinking about this a lot. in retrospect it is one of the greatest films i've seen. no hyperbole.

if you're opening this thread WATCH THIS NOW and tell me you don't have an extreme urge to witness this film

the more i think about it the more i feel like this movie is a complete game changer in a very large way, think 2001
