Tu n'as rien vu. Personne ne voit rien. Jamais. Ils regardent, mais ils ne comprennent pas.

77. Demonlover (Olivier Assayas, 2002)

Bestowing an honorary degree in faggotry to Olivier Assayas for this one. His disorienting vision of ruthless corporate intrigue and cynical global elites peddling reprehensibly violent pornography to an eager public is as knowingly silly as it is terrifyingly prescient. And Chloë Sevigny, Gina Gershon, and a never cuntier Connie Nielsen are there because why not?? …yeah, he can say it. Rating: 9.4/10
