Mother! (2017)

 

 

A couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.

 

Over-the-top thesis play in two parts starts off fairly ominous, but (deliberately) blows out of proportion in the second half, and the whole thing is an easily decipherable allegory and appears more like an unintentional satire; well-made, though, with a good cast.

Love (2015)

An American living in Paris enters a highly sexually and emotionally charged relationship with a young, unstable woman.

Candid, but ultimately not successful attempt to recreate the passion and intimacy of an amour fou, pornographic scenes included; while these moments are audacious, they also appear oddly incongruent with the intensity of the performances.
