Love

So my friend told me about this film tripping about the pornographic nature of it, but saying it had a real story and they were showing it on Netflix.  So I had to see this for myself as it's been some years since I've seen anything like this and it was always foreign.  Well, shit the opening full monty sex scene just about guarantees  audience attention and throughout 2015's Love is peppered with that, threesomes, a full on club orgy, and even a transsexual encounter.  Directed and written by Gaspar Noe, the film centers on a young American man (Karl Glusman) living in Paris with his current wife  and infant son recalling his tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend (Aomi Muyock).  Through a series of flashbacks, character narration, and an unabashed displays of sex not normally seen in mainstream film, Love seeks to explore it's very nature from Glusman's point of view.   I liked what it strived to do and the plot seemed promising enough, but takes a while to really get going with any sort of meaningful coherency.  The erotic scenes aren't bad being spaced apart throughout appropriately and mostly set to music and with enough good cinematography. Yet they tend to distract and unnecessarily take away from the overall story arc that develops quite late and Noe is no Wong Kar Wai.  Because of his approach, the central female characters are unfortunately left quite undeveloped, noticeably uneven to their arguably overexposed bodies.
