Gaspar Noé, the arch provocateur of New French Extremity responsible for Irreversible and Enter the Void, blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction in Lux Æterna, his ode to the suffering and sacrifices involved in the creation of art. French cinema icons Charlotte Gainsbourg and Béatrice Dalle, playing themselves, star as the lead actress and the director of an experimental film about witches. But as preparations for the shoot get underway, the increasingly chaotic production slowly unravels as egos and bitter resentments rise to the surface, threatening to derail the entire enterprise. Shot over just five days and largely improvised by the superlative cast, Lux Æterna is a powerful, hypnotic assault on the senses like no other, cementing Noé’s position as one of the most incendiary voices in cinema today.

português Um olhar para os bastidores de uma pequena produção cinematográfica em curso, onde todos gritam uns com os outros, sem saber o que se passa e enlouquecem disso. Os atores e as atrizes mais conhecidos aqui representam a si próprios. No final, Gaspar dá ao filme um encerramento mais significativo e entrega outros créditos finais memoráveis, mas na totalidade é uma porcaria, fincando-se apenas na participação de rostos de atores familiares.

inglês Noé got a pile of money from Yves Saint Laurent with a single assignment: to make a short film cast with the brand’s faces. But, as expected, Noé did the whole thing his own way, so instead of a standard commercial stylised into a quarter-hour film, the result is a 50-minute auteur pun reminiscent of browsing Cahiers du Cinéma while tripping, where Noé pays tribute to the paramount creative vision which, despite the mad chaos and personal interest of individuals, gives rise to true works of art that will become milestones of cinema.

inglês I am looking forward to another Noé regular feature film. This funny project funded by Yves Saint Laurent is a waste of time and effort. Even on such a short runtime, it is terribly talkative and uninteresting. Béatrice Dalle was unbearable and currently holds the top spot on my list of actresses I can't stand. I've seen about 5 movies with her and I haven't given any more than 2 stars - she should already be a warning for me not to watch a particular movie. A proper Noé moment comes only in the flashing finale itself, which is still not as impressive as the epileptic passages from his previous films. I'm on the edge of 1 to 2 stars, but I'll give a higher rating for the interesting depiction of the madness that can prevail on set during filming. ()
