DE LA GUERRE
France
| 2008 | Bertrand Bonello
Mathieu Amalric, Asia Argento, Guillaume Depardieu, Léa Seydoux, and Michel Piccoli star in this provocative dramedy made by French writer/director/composer Bertrand Bonello just before his international breakthroughs, House of Tolerance and Saint Laurent. Amalric plays a film director who, after accidentally spending a life-changing night locked inside a coffin, joins a strange cult of pleasure seekers based at a remote mansion. There he and others touch each other, swim naked, participate in raves, and wear masks in pursuit of unfiltered spiritual, mental, and physical pleasure and “pure existence.” The film gets even stranger and dreamier with the introduction of guns and swords, visions of warfare, and references to Apocalypse Now. Adults only!
