Movie No. 31 (2016): Gaspar Noe's LOVE
Love (2015)
Director: Gaspar Noe
Cast: Karl Glusman, Aomi Muyock
I almost dismissed the movie as pornography. It's when I endured watching it towards the end that I realized it's not pornography despite the explicit sex scenes. The narrative structure and the main idea the story line explores makes the movie a legit mainstream flick. Erotica may be the appropriate term. All the scenes in the movie that we don't normally see in love stories on screen are, in my opinion, indicative of love. The director even suggests that the love we see in love stories on screen is false. I guess, I agree.

My my only problem with this movies is that "such scenes" are excessive. I think, also, that the editor could have done more work on these scenes.
