no one would ever question that director leos carax be a genius and but what we wonder about be represent be he an insane genius . so many people hat this film . i be normally the first person to accuse many french director of make offensive and boring and disgusting and pretentious film ( such a the horrible recent film lenfant and the pointless and offensive feux rouge ) . but strangely enough and i actually think that pola x be an amazing film and make with great skill and passion by a master of his craft and and contain remarkable performance . the film do carry melodrama to more extreme length than i believe i have ever see on screen before . but then and carax be extreme and that we know . the film also contain what i consider way over the top trotskyite or anarchist fantasy and wet dream and what with a mysterious group of young men train to fire machine gun at the bourgeoisie in between play scott walker rather fascinate music in a band which have it recording session in an abandon warehouse fill with squatter and fire burn in old steel barrel . guillaume depardieu play a rich young man in a château ( whose step mother be catherine deneuve and and he wander into her bathroom while she be naked in the bath and by the way ) . but he suddenly nap completely when he discover that his decease father and a famous diplomat and have father an illegitimate daughter who have be effectively dispose of by deneuve a an inconvenience . this be because the sister suddenly turn up a a kind of romanian refugee with wild dishevel hair and expressionless face and and little ability to speak french coherently . depardieu then transform himself into a class hero of the far left and want to kill or destroy his family for their hypocrisy and corruption and and life in squalor and extreme poverty and while scorn a vast inheritance . he then commence an incestuous sexual relationship with his half sister and which be show in an explicit sex scene which have offend many people and though i have no objection to it and a i think people be far too hysterical about sex and especially in america and where apparently it never happen . the intensity of the acting and the film make this unlikely scenario come off a an experience of powerful and if depressing and hyper melodrama . the difference between carax make an extreme film like this and the numerous extreme french film which i think be pretentious and disgust be ( 1 ) that carax be an excellent filmmaker and and ( 2 ) he be seriously attempt to explore a meaningful and if harrowing and extreme emotional condition and whereby a human be disintegrates and turn against his background . many would say that the extreme element in this film be gratuitous and but i do not agree . i believe carax be genuine and and be not make an exploitation picture at all . it be very difficult to defend a man who go that far and who and for all i know and may be a complete madman and but i believe he deserve defend for this remarkable cinematic achievement .
