Director Gaspar Noe rejected the idea on Thursday that his ultra-graphic 3D sex film "Love" was controversial at the Cannes Film Festival, saying it was ridiculous to ignore a subject that "everyone loves".
"I have friends who love money, some who love coke, some who love cinema, but the common point is that everyone loves having sex," the Paris-based director said at a press conference.
"So why is it so poorly represented in cinema? It's to do with commercial and legal pressures," he added.
Noe's latest film was the hot ticket on the French Riviera, with hundreds trying to squeeze their way into the midnight screening on Wednesday night.

… his ultra-graphic 3D sex film “Love” …The Press of Sodom chalks up another failure to serve the public.
Self-deceiving director Noe is unthinkingly ignoring the trauma of rape.
Phew. Some love sex and coke. Does no one love beauty, graciousness, class or even nature? No wonder I spend all my time watching only the movies of the past.
He never met my ex wife.
Everyone also loves taking a good crap in the morning too but we don't see a need to dwell on it and make movies about it. Besides, sex, like every other fun thing eventually gets old and loses its novelty. Most people grow up and quit obsessing about it. While I still enjoy sex there plenty of other things I enjoy even more.
Everybody loves to “make bathroom” too. So much relief after being denied convenient access to do so.
None if it needs to be depicted in cinema.
Breathing is underrated too.
Just try going 10 minutes without it.
A movie about breathing, closeups of breathing, etc. would be boring.
Most people love chocolate and pizza too. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t control ourselves, and should just become fat and unhealthy - for the sake of what we ‘like’. We progress as human beings, in part, because we learn self-control and self-discipline. Hedonism is just another form of gluttony, and it’s neither sophisticated nor desirable.
The violence in movies is fake.
The sex parts are rarely ever prosthetics.
Would you be okay with your husband/wife/daughter participating in a sex scene for an R/NC-17 movie on camera?
How about being filmed eaten by a zombie?
Why the difference in opposing one and not the other?
Your post seems strangely 1953-ish, I don’t know why...
Channeled and confined to marriage, sex is a huge positive factor in society. Otherwise, it is destructive.

This sounds like pornography... nothing new under the sun.
Having sex with kids makes you a sex offender too, aren’t we just too prudish for you?
Why in the world would anyone want to show porn to kids? Unless they are trying to desensitize them.
” Ted Cruz had sex?
Well, that finishes him so far as I’m concerned.”
Interesting variation on a theme....
LOL
Not just violence in movies. Also speaking of and glorifying violence in war. Or the romantization of gangstas, thugs, etc.
I don’t really see a live sex scene as anything more than someone doing a movie stunt (which happens in violent films all the time).
I wouldn’t “want” for someone I’m close to to be a stuntman/stuntwoman. Neither would I “want” them to be a soldier or police officer. Obviously you dont want those close to you injured but it is their choice and I would completely support them.
Think Munich and Paris of the 1920s.. The decadence..
The writing was on the wall.
But it didn’t say keep your clothes on..
Or don’t lose your heads!
Brighter times are ahead!!
Big Hollywood romanticizes gangstas, thugs, AND big pimpin hoes up/pimps down stripperwannabe lifestyles. SEX and VIOLENCE.
