They wanted coolness from my name but also a clean movie.вЂќ Deals struck gave no guarantees. Love was still a tough sell: numerous investors almost funded the project before vanishing. NoГ© argues the casting wasnвЂ™t simply down to economics: вЂњPeople call it a risk, but famous actors go wrong on the screen all the time. All were fans of the director, вЂњSo I wasnвЂ™t just some guy with a moustache saying: вЂHello, I want to make an erotic movie.вЂ™вЂЉвЂќ The film stars three non-professional actors, recruited from a Q&A after a New York screening of Enter The Void, a friendвЂ™s party and a nightclub. It also forced him to deal with that most treacherous gift: the critically lauded, endlessly talked-about film that loses its backers money.ДЄ still from NoГ©вЂ™s вЂEnter the VoidвЂ™ (2009) В© Photoshot Then NoГ© made his masterpiece, Enter The Void (2009), a mad, hallucinatory opus about the afterlife of a young American drug dealer in Tokyo. Starring Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, it was a brutal account of rape and revenge, unfolding backwards over a day to an unbearably poignant end/beginning. Second thing, you know IвЂ™m not actually French?вЂ™вЂЉвЂќ вЂњThe National Front approached me to say: вЂCome on, join the team.вЂ™ I said: вЂOK, first thing, I donвЂ™t want to. The butcherвЂ™s ravings drew strange admirers. I Stand Alone was, he says, made to tease more than to expose.

NoГ© still doesnвЂ™t have a French passport but after his parents fled the Argentine junta when he was 13, he finds real meaning in his adopted countryвЂ™s free speech. Eventually came I Stand Alone, a sledgehammer portrait of a vile French butcher, whose racism, misogyny and misanthropy fuelled a horribly gripping, flatly hideous voiceover. Part of his personal legend is that at seven he saw Stanley KubrickвЂ™s 2001, finding it so revelatory it made him a director (this too is referenced in Love). (He does also ask later: вЂњHave you ever had a threesome?вЂќ) NoГ© was born in Buenos Aires, the son of an Argentine intellectual, Luis Felipe NoГ©. None of this is the behaviour of the nihilist wild man you might expect from his films. Do you have babies?вЂќДЄomi Muyock and Karl Glusman in NoГ©вЂ™s вЂLoveвЂ™ (2015) On the way, he talks about not having children: вЂњI had the most sweet, loving relationship with my parents, but I fear that if I do it, it wonвЂ™t be as good. (The traditional sideline of the art house director in high-end advertising has, he says, been closed to him since making a вЂњterribleвЂќ commercial for Yves Saint Laurent in 2009.) HeвЂ™s also adamant on walking me back to the Gare du Nord. Later, when our formal interview ends, he insists on picking up the bill, although his frequent references to paying the rent lead me to think he might be a little broke. Between that film and Love have come just two more - Irreversible (2002) and Enter the Void (2009) - but with them a reputation as world cinemaвЂ™s most gleeful enfant terrible, creator of films that bristle with neon, strobes and ultra-violence. During his incendiary first feature, 1998вЂ™s I Stand Alone, he paused to give audiences a countdown in which they could exit the movie. If there is a squeak of the disingenuous here, itвЂ™s because NoГ© has always been a showman, aware of the power of flesh as a selling point. But yes, really it is a sentimental melodrama about a guy who loses his girlfriend.вЂќ вЂњI pretended to make porn so no one gets mad when they see the sex, walks out and asks for their money back. The dominant tone is bittersweet melancholy: Brief Encounter with orgasms. A further note: the film has been made in 3D.Д«ut the sex in Love is just one part of the equation. What follows involves other authentic moments from their sex life. Its opening scene is devoted to its central couple silently arousing each other clearly nothing is fake. However drastic MoscowвЂ™s verdict, itвЂ™s true that Love - the story of a doomed affair between young drifters in Paris - is one of the most sexually frank films to ever be released (or not) outside of actual pornography.
