Fresh off the early-year release of “Vortex,” one of the best movies of his career, French director Gaspar Noé is already hinting at what he might be doing next.
During a master class he gave at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, Noé spoke about wanting to make a film about preschoolers:
“I’ve already done a movie about old age with ‘Vortex’ so the next one is going to be different. I’d like to make a film where the main characters are very young kids, aged between three to five years old, with very little dialogue. I like movies with kids. I don’t have kids myself, but I relate to them.”
Noé is a major fan of Bruno Dumont’s “Lil Quinquin,” which also inspired Sean Baker to make “The Florida Project” — maybe its influence has now crept up into Noé‘s creative conscience as well.
This would be a departure for Noé who is known as the master provocateur behind such shocking films as “Irreversible,” “Enter the Void” and “Climax”. In “Vortex,” he tackled an elderly couple and the final days before their deaths.
No further details were spilled out by Noe about this potential project, but we’ll be keeping a very close eye on it.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
