![]() French Gothic is quite the insidious aesthetic, and POLA X might be the Frenchest thing ever made. His sensibilities are most definitely that of a stereotypical French painter. The best, most expensive student film ever made? I think Leos should have been a painter. Undisciplined, instinctive, unhinged stuff like this needs to exist. And yet definitely beguiling, indelible, and idiosyncratic. Definitely can understand why any producer wouldn't be caught dead giving this madman a cent for the rest of his career. Definitely the most miserable, thoroughly unenjoyable and oppressive film I can remember. Definitely nihilistic, mean, cynical and ice cold. Definitely infuriating, overlong, inconsistent and borderline unwatchable. Definitely beyond excessive and self-indulgent. Definitely the most audacious literary adaptation of the past twenty years alongside BEAU TRAVAIL – also French/Melville (can we get that Lynne Ramsay MOBY DICK-in-space joint already?!).

If you liked Dostoyevsky's 'Crime and Punishment," you will probably like this if only for the comparisons. It is the thought provoking philosophy of this movie that makes it worthwhile. Consequently, if you are not into tragedies, this is not your movie. Not that that is bad, it was done to illustrate character trait degression of the main character. The film is loosely based on the Herman Melville novel Pierre: or, The Ambiguities. This movie starts off somewhat slowly and gets running towards the end.
