It\u2019s a horrifying sentiment and fits well with No\u00e9\u2019s exploration of ageing, mortality, and dementia in his relentlessly heartbreaking but thoroughly entrancing experiment of a film. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>VORTEX opens with an idyllic scene of the film\u2019s elderly couple (played by Fran\u00e7oise Lebrun and Dario Argento) enjoying a bottle of wine together on their Paris balcony and musing on the dream within a dream that is their life together. This will prove to be the happiest that we ever see the characters in the film: as the man later illustrates to his son (Alex Lutz) by gesturing down the slope of his arm, it\u2019s all downhill from here. No\u00e9 then flings us into the intertwining <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s of ageing and mortality by displaying their years of birth alongside the principal actors\u2019 names in the credits. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cVORTEX is an intense experience but is never anything other than fully immersive even as it pulls us into the desperately sad black hole of mental decline.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After this opening scene, the screen splits in two, revealing the film\u2019s major experimental conceit. Each half of the screen follows a different character either showing what that character is doing independently of the other character or showing two different perspectives on the same scene. <\/p>\n<p>Most frequently this split-screen is used to highlight the gulfs between characters, specifically the elderly couple. The woman has steadily worsening dementia and we see her pottering around their Paris flat aimlessly or wandering out and getting lost in nearby shops. The man meanwhile is myopically focused on writing a book about cinema and dreams or pursuing an affair with his former lover. Though the couple live in the same flat surrounded by the detritus of their life together, dementia has robbed them of the connection they once shared. The woman\u2019s behaviour exasperates the man who pulls further and further away just when she needs him the most. In a brief lucid moment, she tells him that all she needs of him is that he \u201cBe\u2026 be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally the split-screen effect follows the couple\u2019s son, St\u00e9phane. When first introduced, he\u2019s a breath of fresh air: a strong, calming influence who shows genuine concern for both his parents and offers to find the help that they so clearly need. But as the film progresses, in the parts of the screen that follow him, we see him struggle with his own past mental health issues and current drug addiction issues. His presence, so reassuring when he was introduced, is steadily eroded until we\u2019re as concerned for his wellbeing and that of his own son (Kylian Dheret) as we are for the elderly couple. <\/p>\n<p>There are also brief moments of connection: the two screens sometimes show contrasting tableaus to emphasise characters\u2019 connections despite their different locations. In rare moments of connection and mental lucidity, a character\u2019s hand may slip from one half of the screen to the other suggesting a brief bridging of the gaps between them.<\/p>\n<p>Dementia does not get better\u2014a \u201cdisease without a cure\u201d as the man says several times\u2014and so the film follows the continual decline of the woman and the man\u2019s increasing lack of patience until both characters are lost in a fog. Though immersed in the film, we long for it to come to an end if only to be free of the relentless bleakness of this couple\u2019s struggles. VORTEX is an intense experience but is never anything other than fully immersive even as it pulls us into the desperately sad black hole of mental decline. By the time the camera twirls upwards into the Paris sky, we breathe a sigh of relief that it\u2019s over while mourning the end of a truly innovative cinematic experience. <\/p>\n<p>VORTEX is set to be released in UK cinemas on 13th May 2022.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vortex (2021) - Clip (French)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jISXtFtaNhs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
