"Seul Contre Tous" is a useless movie. A movie that made me sick, a movie that deals with pure hate, and nothing else. Pessimistic, stupid, violent, incredibly vulgar and really ill-directed. Obviously, Gaspar Noe forgot all about his knowledge of cinema. Everything is spoilt (except for the bleak color that's really well done), the text is astoundingly loathsome, slack and redundant, just like the movie itself; the graphic violence is emphasized and really useless (and fictive within the story itself, moreover!), and the gunshots all along are annoying. Gaspar Noe tries to draw the portrait of capitalism, misery and mankind but his total lack of subtleness turns his movie into 90 minutes of visual insanity, an extremely nefast movie. Apparently, he's just playing with our nerves, and he's doing it well; but trying to make fun out of this subject is a mistake, because there's no distance to be taken.
