“To all those whose brains will decompose before their hearts.”

Oh God, what a pain to sit through. They could have cut over half of the film, but it’s the prolonged stretches of dead time that mostly convey an overwhelming sense of emptiness and desolation. There’s no emphasis on the drama, no conflict, no visual tricks. The split screen has no purpose if not to keep the two protagonists apart for the whole movie. Although a quite dull experience overall, it undeniably manages to make an indelible impression.

The least erotic film I’ve watched from Gaspar Noé but probably my favorite. It is like Amour (Haneke, 2012) with an alternative ”3D” attempt referable to what Godard did in Adieu au langage (2014) - 3D attempts to recreate a sense of space, Godard experimented on the technique of superimposing two different images instead of the traditional way which two images are identical. Noé presents the same time and space from different perspectives and use the juxtaposition to introduce a dimensional image in audience’s mind.

[AtlàntidaFF '22] Perhaps a step towards a different way of understanding cinema, but obviously a consequence of the stroke he suffered in 2020, Gaspar Noé dialogues with death, tired and frustrated old age, in the shadow of dementia, in one of his calmest but also darkest films. There are echoes of "Amour" (Michael Haneke, 2012), but also of the split screen of "Forty deuce" (Paul Morrissey, 1982), there are two performances/improvisations that recreate decrepitude without being ashamed, which ends up being the best part of the film .

Like _The Father_ but without the intrigue. Vortex is the story of getting old and you can feel yourself getting old while you watch it.

I am famously unimpressed with Noé and this film does nothing but cement the idea in my brain that he is a film bro trying harder to be 'important' than he is to be 'good'.
