Riffing off the title of his first feature ('I Stand Alone') - an eloquent cinematic narrative about despair, loneliness and one man’s abandonment to pathologies of societal decay - ‘We * Alone’ is a dark odyssey into violent masturbatory fantasy. The film opens with the image of a beautiful young woman being rimmed on TV. As we pull back we encounter a young teenager being eaten by a large teddy bear before the narrative settles on a young man masturbating as he watches * on the TV. Like most of Noé’s film, ‘We * Alone’ suggests an altered state. Provoking a perceptual and visceral reaction to both what is seen and the way it is shown, we are drawn into a solitary self-referential world of simultaneous seduction and repulsion. Here, sex, beauty and violence combine to create a mesmeric and unforgettable landscae entirely on its own.
