On a rainy January 1st morning, Electra’s mother, Nora, phones Murphy at his small Paris apartment, where he lives with Omi and their 18-month-old son named Gaspar, to ask him if he has heard from Electra, because Nora has not for three months, and given Electra’s suicidal tendencies, Nora is really worried.
Seriously, if you haven’t seen that movie, either watch it or at least check out that aforementioned scene it’s literally the most violent moment in all the history of cinema, and more importantly, one of the biggest contributing factors as to why I’m such a dedicated fan of the director. Taboo French auteur Gaspar Noe has a clear mission with his latest arthouse voyeuristic treat simply titled Love, and he bashes that point relentlessly over your head like that guy in Irreversible repeatedly smashing another guy’s face in with a fire extinguisher. In one morning, Electra’s mother, Nora, phones him to ask if he’s heard from Electra, because she hasn’t heard from her for three months, and given her daughter’s suicidal tendencies. This unplanned pregnancy ended the relationship between Murphy and Electra on a horrible note, and it forced Murphy to marry Omi. But later, he had sex with her behind Electra’s back, as a result of which Omi became pregnant. One day, they met and had a no-strings-attached threesome with another woman, a young blonde Danish teenager named Omi, as a way to add some excitement to their love life.
He had a French girlfriend, called Electra, whom he dated for two years. Murphy is an American cinema school student, living in Paris.
It had its premiere at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival and was released in 3D. The film marked Noé’s fourth directorial venture after a gap of five years. Love 2015: Love is a 2015 erotic drama art film written and directed by Gaspar Noé.
