- Synopsis:
- French cinema icons Charlotte Gainsbourg (Ismael's Ghosts, Antichrist) and Beatrice Dalle (Betty Blue, Inside), playing themselves, star as the lead actress and the director of an experimental film about witches. But as preparations for the shoot get underway, the increasingly chaotic production slowly unravels as egos and bitter resentments rise to the surface, threatening to derail the entire enterprise. Shot over just five days and largely improvised by the superlative cast, 'Lux Æterna' is a powerful, hypnotic assault on the senses like no other, cementing Noe's position as one of the most incendiary voices in cinema today.

Chaos - Lux Æterna review by MM
A chaotic film set and ten minutes of unpleasant flashing lights. The best thing about this film is its brevity.
