Perhaps the most divisive filmmaker working today, you don't enjoy a Noe film, you endure it.
I have never seen one of his films that didn't make me feel like I needed a shower afterwards.
But then something weird happens. I invariably start to question why I was so disturbed, repulsed, and in some cases turned on.*
But I can never just dismiss one of his films.
I end up being haunted by his work. Once the visceral reaction wears off I find so much to consider and discuss. I've spent hours debating his films with my film-geek friends.
*just to be 1000% clear, nothing in Irreversible made me feel excited. Especially that scene.
Here is the new poster for his upcoming film. It's so NSFW that even the movie site I'm linking has it blocked out.
