LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Love, one of the most buzzed-about selections at this year's Cannes Film Festival, premiered on Wednesday night as part of this year's midnight section. Gaspar Noe's relationship drama, which just as easily could have been called "Lust," made headlines before it screened because of its explicit sex scenes.
The Cannes audience got an eyeful, and not just because the film was shot in 3D. Lovepushes the envelope even further than Lar von Trier's unrated Nymphomaniac, and makes Fifty Shades of Grey look like Pillow Talk.
The movie from Argentinian director Noe (Irreversible) features real sex (or what appears to be actual sex) with full frontal nudity -- there are many close-up shots of genitalia -- oral sex, intercourse and ejaculation. An orgy scene toward the end of the film is reminiscent of Eyes Wide Shut, only the actors are nude and aroused.
There's also two threesome scenes: one involving a 17-year-old next door neighbor and another with a transgender woman. The latter encounter is perhaps the only love scene in the film that couldn't be mistaken for pornography.
