5.0 out of 5 stars a masterwork, April 22 2004

This review is from: Pola X (DVD)
Carax's Melville is one of the great films of the last decade and certainly on a par with Claire Denis's Beau Travail, her version of Melville's Billy Budd. Pierre is Melville's most enigmatic work and Carax illuminates the mystery by placing it in our world, the dawn of the twenty-first century, where the spectator must enter--the viewer become a reader again--unriddling this Hamlet from the inside out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Leos Carax!!!!!, Dec 26 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Pola X (DVD)
Leos Carax is without doubt one of the best French directors alive(Olivier Assyas is another one worth mentioning). "Pola X "is obsessed with "Crazy Love", which is a theme that Carax enjoys his fame for(Such as " Lovers on the bridge" with Juliette Binoche). Pola X is nonetheless deeper than any of Carax's previous work becouse it also expolores the corruption and lies of our society(it is based on Herman Melville 's novel). The cinematograhy is excellent, I espacially like the love scene between Pierre and Isabelle. Yes, it is rather
explicit, but Carax deals with it masterfully. The entire scene is as if looking at a beautifully painted medieval oil painting, with two people devour each other's body with extreme passion and tenderness.

5.0 out of 5 stars *****, Sep 3 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Pola X (DVD)
To all of you who wish to obtain the movie -please, do so without reading any of the reviews (they will just make the confusion even greater) Carax's film is too intensively beautiful to be judged in any way. Pola X is all about abstraction, visualization, feeling, sensitivity and mind at a higher degree. If you feel comfortable with yourself and ready to explore new ideas and visions then go for the movie, if not - don't end up writing misleading reviews.
Evidently Hollywood has brain washed a lot of heads around and not all of us have managed to retain a real appreciation for a pure, innovative, artistic work. Qualities that Pola X possesses.
I assume I will not be an exception of the rule and will devote some time on the love scene. Yes, it is a real punishment for Puritan America. Yes, it is sensual and arousing. For all of us who have made real love to the degree when you are even afraid to touch the other's skin: we'll understand the scene - for the others remain the use of the word "sex".
There is an enormous set of details throughout the movie, which will help you better understand and appreciate it. The first line, the first shot - even the title
The film is not for people complaining about their burned croissant on he breakfast table. In order to survive through the movie you must have learned how to survive in live.
