Liberté

I can understand what the director attempted to do with such a film but the end product is a disaster. Disturbing scenes throughout the film which were shot just for the sake of disturbing the audience without any artistic basis. There are scenes where you watch a tree for five minutes. Acting was awful as well. It was dead boring.

I gave 1 star just because 0 is not possible. Nothing can evacuate a movie theater faster than this film, including a poisonous gas attack. All we saw throughout 2 hours was a bunch of zombie-like men and women pissing on each other. There is nothing aesthetical, artistic, creative in the movie. Characters are pure psychopaths with empty eyes who lack sexual imagination. They do not arouse any sexual feelings. All they do is make you vomit. It can not be even classified as rough . Total waste of time.

Albert Serra's "Liberte"(2019)is art for the sake of art. The film is meticulously paced and shot to create a "Peeping Tom" effect. The storyline is based on a play written by Serra and the film follows the format of a play. Immediately it is thus not everyone's cup of tea. The theme, which focus on high brow libertarians who who effectively ex-communicated by Louis XVI and who enjoys a night of debauchery also will not find favour with most audiences. That said Serra has a unique way of making light of famous works of the era, most notably those of the Marquis de Sade, and the film never feels heavy or for that matter pornographic (this despite some visuals which will not sit well with the Bible schools). The film is more about a bit of a chuckle than anything else and works rather well. 8/10.

After having been drawn in by the first 15 minutes, I was disappointed to find that the rest of the film was a banal, bland, sans-erotic orgy. It's worth watching for about 45 minutes as the filming techniques are compelling; Serra captures the feeling of midnight cruising like no one else. I constantly found myself challenged by the play of shadows and body. 5 stars for technique.

2 hours of watching depraved perverts in bad wigs having sex in the woods. That's it. That's the movie. Repulsive.
