Climax meets Living in Oblivion? Yes, please.
My house, my rules, my coffee

Yes

this is probably Gaspar's best film

Personally I wouldn't consider this his 'best' but it certainly feelz like a sibling to CLIMAX. I adore both.

I can't wait to watch this dozenz more timez throughout my life. An assault on the optic nerves. All of Gaspar Noe's filmz are in their own way howling for cinema to be art. Here the violence is at its purest, literally attacking the viewer. You may come to know yourself better through this experience, I certainly noticed patterns in my vision I had forgotten, if ever I knew them.

Yes there iz, also, a script and sick interplay of diegetic camera/invasion/exploited female bodies; and one side plot that iz pure Noe-morbid-humor involving a nanny. But the medium is the message and that iz Cinema as extension of the body and mind.

Cinema as psychic tool.

I'm a bit confused as to whether the Standard comes with the booklet, or if the Limited Edition is the only version with the booklet... Either way, will definitely get one of them.
