Primal scene stretched to over two hours is how one might summarise Noe's third feature (and the main reason for the Noe Saturday). No oedipal reference is left unreferred to, no transcendant light emanating from one's genitalia during coitus is wasted ... and finally Noe's tunnel fetish rears its ugly head (pun intended). Think of the Club Silencio scene from Mulholland Dr., mix it with the journey-through-time-and-space scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, add The Prodigy's video for "Smack My Bitch up", and simmer it all through the eye of the man himself, you are somewhere there.

Noe Saturday Part 1: I Stand Alone (1998)
Welcome to the Gaspar Noe Saturday of The Bru. There will be blood, semen, sweat, incest, Sans Serif title cards and credit scenes with 765-point font, a camera that refuses to stay still, industrial beats hell-bent on violating every ear drum within a city block, psychopathic individuals, unrequited love, unsatisfied sex lives, transvestites flashing out their snakes ... and it's a beautiful day here in London.
