Gaspar Noe's Explicit 'love' Sets Cannes Atwitter

A depiction of turbulent youthful relationships, it's extremely explicit — and it's in 3-D. "Love" stars American actor Karl Glusman and European performers Aomi Muyock and Klara Kristin as the members of a turbulent love triangle in Paris. Glusman said he was proud of the finished movie — and so was his mother, "especially because the film is playing in such a prestigious festival." The Hollywood Reporter said that if you strip out the sex, the film is "a wistful, some might say sappy story about heartbreak, made with impressive cinematic elan but somewhat shallow emotional depth." The film should be screened uncut in much of Europe, where audiences and censors are tolerant of explicit, nonviolent sex scenes. [...] it is likely to fall foul of film censors in many countries and will probably have a limited release in the United States.
