Lux Æterna

(Gaspar Noé, 2019, France, 52 minutes)

From notorious French provocateur Gaspar Noé, who was first thrust on St. Louis audiences when the Webster Film Series ran I Stand Alone some 23 years ago, Lux Æterna has legendary French actresses Charlotte Gainsbourg (Antichrist) and Béatrice Dalle (Betty Blue) playing versions of themselves. They spend their time telling stories about witches while on a film set, which set invariably descends into chaos.

This film contains extended sequences of flashing lights that may impact people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

In French with English subtitles.
