About This Movie

So, you know Gaspar Noé, right? 'Lux Æterna: The Art of Filmmaking' is this fascinating, experimental short that dives deep into the essence of his vision. It’s not just a simple extension of 'Lux Æterna,' but rather an exploration, using footage from DeMille’s 'King of the Kings' interspersed with this disorienting voiceover that keeps repeating 'Relax' in this almost trance-like way. The pacing feels hypnotic, and the atmosphere is thick with a mix of nostalgia and an unsettling energy. It’s like watching a dream unfold, layered with historical echoes and a sense of mystery. This one-time screening in Paris at L'Étrange Festival was something special, capturing the ephemeral nature of film itself.
