I didn't give a flying fuck about Irreversible, and considering how terrible it was, I was hesitant to check this one out. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad as I'd feared. Noe fantastically displays the feelings of a common man and what one has to suffer in day-to-day life. The frustr... read more
The deranged horse butcher from Carne is now struggling to regain any control of his life after spending many years in jail. This is a fantastic story, incredibly disturbing and heart-wrenching, with an amazing performance by Philippe Nahon and an absolutely brilliant final act.
Has some similarities to Taxi Driver but it's much darker & much more twisted
Intense, visceral, raw. hard to digest and yet interesting existentialist tale of a god's lonely man, a troubledmind french butcher who will take what he conciders fair, no matter who falls on the way. director Gaspár Noe homage to Godard and Scorsese. not for the faint-hearted.
More than a sequel to the butcher's short in Carne,Nahon methodically shares with us fears and loathings in a Miserere of illusions.Perhaps the downwardness of it all.
More polished and disturbing than "Carne", this full-length continuation of the doomed life of a man only known as "The Butcher" will surely put chills to a viewer's spine as it explores a man's inner struggle against madness. As suggested by the "Warning" sign near the end of th... read more
After seeing Gaspar Noé's masterpiece Irréversible, I had to check out his other creations. "Seul contre tous", just like Irréversible, has a highly disturbing story, with down-right evil characters. In this movie Noé deals with dark human behavior from a quite different perspect... read more
This film's definitely well-made, and I don't mean technically speaking, I mean well made through and though.
The drawback?
Well it sits in your stomach as well as curdled milk
that's been sitting on a radiator
for 5 years
It's vicious in it's own way, to say the least.
Effective use sound design to compliment an interesting trip into the mind of a crazed loner.
Expect plenty of shock cuts.
...I Stand Alone will not easily be forgotten - and in this day and age, that's an incredibly rare thing. Full Review
Certainly, there are aesthetic pleasures in I Stand Alone, but they don't redeem the depraved heart that beats at the center of the film. Full Review
Surprisingly sensitive as well as genuinely shocking. Full Review
More of a young turk provocation than a measured and mature intercession on rage and despair, but it certainly achieves the unsettling effect Noe intended. Full Review
Noe deserves credit for a cinematic vision which is remarkably his own. Full Review
For all the static bleakness of his movies, Noe does have a sinful sense of play. Full Review
The real violence here, the far more deeply disturbing violence, is the violence inside the mind of the protagonist. Full Review
