Kylo Ren is an edgy comedian. Marion Cotillard is an opera singer. They are lovers - their sex scenes are explicit yet reveal nothing but Kylo’s butt. Wolowitz is Cotillard’s piano accompanist. It’s an artsy musical and it’s 2.5 hours long. Kylo and Marion give birth to a puppet. It’s surreal.
Technically it’s got some good stuff - some one-ers, some swirling cinematography, a few very impressively shot scenes.
But it tries too hard. Too much discussion of ‘art’ and artsy navel gazing, and Kylo can’t sing. I’ve decided I only like Kylo in comedies. And this is a tragedy. One many levels.
No sword fights. Not DOOM recommended, although cf & Greg might find it technically interesting.

This has been on my radar, especially if you have been watching the press for the Sparks Brothers documentary. The Sparks Brothers did the music and were more excited by this film than they were by their own documentary.

The doc might be better. I’d watch the beginning one-er because that starts right out of the gates. The cunnilingus scene reminded me of the sex scene between Ryan and Morena in Deadpool 2 (made dm jealous because he’s crushing on both actresses and there’s clearly some nekkid fondling going on). Maybe get as far as the puppet baby. Then skip to the final half hour because there’s some good spectacle there. Unless you can take 2.5 hours of Kylo’s horrible singing - if so, you’ll best me in tolerance just like you hiked me to the brink of death at Tilt-ill.
The more I reflect on this, the more it was pretentious artsy crap. Technically impressive though. Worth watching some clips but insufferable as a whole view.

But how are you at watching cunnilingus scenes?
