Carne (Short 1991)

Carne (Short 1991). 40m

“Well, I just finished watching Gaspar Noeu0026#39;s CARNE (1991), and now I have seen all of his movies. Not as many people know about Carne because itu0026#39;s a 35 minute short film, not a feature length film – BUT, his debut feature film I STAND ALONE is actually a direct continuation of what occurs in CARNE. Though I have known about I STAND ALONE since about 2003, I didnu0026#39;t hear about CARNE until this year. I actually think CARNE is superior to I STAND ALONE – because of the short runtime itu0026#39;s paced very quickly and features more of Gasparu0026#39;s stylish cutting and editing. It is thoroughly entertaining, while I STAND ALONE is more a slow-burning, icky-feeling build to a wretched climax that will make pretty much everyone feel like they need to take a shower afterwards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAny way, this movie is very good. Probably one of the best short films I have ever seen. The singular style is turned up to 10. The performances are on point. And the dialogue, subject matter, and some of the visuals are immensely jarring. Though I STAND ALONE is not a movie I would ever recommend to anyone (because of the sickening subject matter), I suggest that for those who are interested, do not watch I STAND ALONE without seeing CARNE first. They should be watched in sequence, just as one should watch something like KILL BILL Vol. 1 and 2.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow that Iu0026#39;ve seen all of Gaspar Noeu0026#39;s films… I would rank them in this order…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eENTER THE VOID u0026gt; IRREVERSIBLE u0026gt; CLIMAX u0026gt; CARNE u0026gt; LOVE u0026gt; I STAND ALONE”
