A tough picture to wrap your brain around.
The film is at once breathtaking and ridiculous, and it's the tension between these two extremes, as well as Carax's own intoxicating style, that makes it essential viewing.
Searingly potent and suggestively supple, Carax's images are rich with emotion and ideas.
I would rather see one movie like this than a thousand "Bring It Ons."
A less confrontational, though positively gushing modernization of "Pierre, or the Ambiguities."
Carax's cinematic imagination makes it worth viewing by movie buffs with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for explicit sex.
Carax, with Pola X, has become a parody of himself with a self-indulgent, overreaching style that many viewers will find a struggle to watch -- provided they can contain their contempt for pretentiousness.
