A marriage made in
hell...

... and no I am not
talking about the characters in the film, I am talking about what happens when
an A-list director "falls in love" with the idea of doing a sexually
explicit film.
I want to be clear about
this and I think the data will bear me out. Make a list of all the films in the
last 100 years by A-list directors who felt confident they could infringe on
territory formerly occupied only by the porn industry and still prevail with a
hit film...? Are you done? I will save you time. I did the list myself. And the
answer is none, zero, zip, nada.
Just like there are in
the porn industry a handful of directors who constantly try to push the
boundaries of their craft into the mainstream (which almost always means soft
light and lots of white sheets, films that most resemble a commercial for TIDE)
Noe, a brilliant artiste (Irreversible and Enter the Void were both brilliant)
tried to push the envelope .. and ended up with junk mail.
Sure, if you are
determined to see a silk purse where others are seeing a sow's ear, you could
pretend that this film has a great deal to say about men's expectations about
love and marriage.
But this is a review
just between the writer and the reader, and we respect each other too much to
lie. So I will be clear -- Noe went where angels fear to tread. And ended up
with a film that, for posterity, is simply not going to make his A-reel.
