Love is a blinding light, a genetic necessity, an altered state of consciousness, a hard drug, a mental illness, a power grab—it's sperm and tears. (Gaspar Noé)
Gaspar Noé, the director of Irreversible, and Benoît Debie, the cinematographer for Spring Breakers, joined forces in order to show the physical side of love between twenty-somethings in a bold, fresh, and visually groundbreaking way. Screened at the Festival in Cannes, the film contains some of the bravest erotic scenes in the history of independent cinema. In 3D.
Born in Argentina in 1963, Gaspar Noé has lived in Paris since he was a child. He studied at Louis Lumière College, where he already began to shine with his short fiction films. It was his 40-minute film Carne, however, that first brought him acclaim. The film was continued as a full-length feature called I Stand Alone. His work is characterized by a sense of naturalism, the epicenter of which was the anal-rape scene in the controversial film Irreversible. Noé has won numerous awards at Cannes, as well as at other prestigious events.
