Lux Æterna 2019

A very typical Noe film. His films are always pretty extreme but this time it genuinely wants to be as unwatchable as possible. It took me a little bit to get into this. At 49 minutes, it's visually painful but also an oddly hypnotizing experience about the thrill and stress of filmmaking. I can’t imagine watching this in a theater. It starts with a calm note and the situation becomes increasingly chaotic as the film goes. The split screen feels gimmicky at first but it's where the stress builds as you don't know what to pay attention to. This is one that's going to stay with me.
