Vortex

Vortex is a 2021 avant-garde psychological drama film written and directed by Gaspar Noé. It stars Dario Argento as a father and author, his first leading role, alongside Françoise Lebrun as his wife, and Alex Lutz as his son, Stéphane. The film deals with the themes of human condition and personal problems, use of slow, minimal cinematic approach and almost defiantly restrained: a pockmarked, faded palette of the frame, deaf voices, and the use of low-frequency background sound.
