Love
Murphy has a strong sexual and emotionally charged relationship with his girlfriend, Electra. They invite a third person into their sex lives, unaware of the disastrous effects it might have.
I don't know what else one can expect from Noe now. This is a love story told from the perspective of sex. The sex in the film is not simulated, it's all real. Full frontal nudity from all involved, a close-up of an ejaculating penis (this was shot in 3D I believe) and a lot of melodrama spliced in between.
Are the scenes erotic? Yes and no. They are not shot in a pornographic way, the content is just really graphic for a "mainstream" film. Love literally opens with a 5 minute static shot of two people getting each other off, then it finally decides to cut when the man ejaculates. This film has plenty of male fluids.
Noe pushes boundaries, but a lot of times in boring ways. Enter the Void is visually beautiful, poetic, but dull. Love has none of the visual flare one might want or expect from Noe. This can simply be considered an artful porn flick. Despite that, it does have a sense of warmth to it, which is what Noe lacks in all his other films. Yet those other films felt a bit more engaging.
