Babylon 2022

It is a long staging of ideas that are sometimes grotesque and almost always provocative, excessive in their magnificence and voracious in their ability to engulf the viewer. It begins as an ostentatious celebration at a party reminiscent of "Salò or the 120 days of Sodom" (1975) and step by step it takes us down to hell (literally). A love letter to the cinema, but a poisoned dart to Hollywood; a passionate look at fantasy but a cruel portrait of reality, which is reflected in its putrefaction through the images within images. That it begins with diarrheal shit from an elephant is a perfect description of a bombastic movie that contains a lot of shit inside.
