I Stand Alone (1998)
Gaspar Noé’s harrowing and misanthropic story has an aging butcher as he wanders through life just out of jail, unemployed, and looking for trouble in the city he utterly hates. Paris. He can’t get work, and quickly becomes broke the classic “from bad to worse” situation. Fortunately, he’s got a gun and three bullets. Noé isn’t exactly known for subtlety whether he’s punctuating each cut or pan with the sound of a gunshot or using a 30-second countdown to warn viewers not to watch his movie’s finale (not nearly as graphic as you might have heard) and I Stand Alone stands, well, alone as one of his most graphic creations. As a film, it’s overbearing almost completely told via voice-over and hateful in the extreme. As a testament to the decay of society, is Noé a chronicler or a contributor? You be the judge. For what it’s worth, I think he’s mostly just posing.
