Love is a 2015 French erotic drama film directed, written and co-edited by Gaspar Noé.The film centers around American amateur filmmaker Murphy (Karl Glusman) and his loveless relationship with a woman named Omi (Klara Kristin). When Murphy receives a call that his drug-using ex, Electra (Aomi Muyack), has been missing for weeks, he spends the rest of the day reflecting on his relationship with her, and the infidelity with Omi that brought forth his first child.The film was Noé's first film to be released in 3D, and featured many actual, unchoreographed sexual acts between its three leads.

comment
Creator Cameo: Noé cast himself as the art gallery owner (with the gallery called the Noé Institute). Electra also suggests the name Gaspar when she's asked by Murphy what she would name a child — a name that Murphy eventually convinces Omi to name their child. Benoît Debie — Noé's frequent cinematographer of choice — appears as a hippie-like leader name Yayo who specializes in a psychedelic practice.

All Men Are Perverts: Noé claimed that during casting, every male friend of his offered to be the lead role, even going as far as to show Noé their dicks, hoping that would help them get the job.

Patriotic Fervor: A very strange example occurs when a thoroughly drunk Murphy justifies his equally drunk assault on Noe by claiming that Americans instinctively fight for what they believe in, while the French haven't won a war since 1918.

Paddleball Shot: Played with (no pun intended) in a fashion only Noe could do; the film notably makes good use of its 3D with a close-up shot of Marcus' penis being masturbated, resulting in him copiously ejaculating towards the camera.

Foregone Conclusion: It becomes clear very quickly that Electra became more and more consumed with drugs and suicidal thoughts, especially after she broke it off with Murphy. In the present day of the film, she has been missing for weeks, and is possibly dead.

He-Man Woman Hater: Murphy. Even though he says he still loves Electra, he describes living with a woman as "being in prison" simply because he has to share his life, and in his mind is very cruel to Omi for not being who he wants. It also becomes clear that he only actually loves Electra when she's being exactly how he wants her to be.

No Ending: The film simply stops when Murphy finally breaks down crying in the tub, holding his child. The film holds on his final thought — Murphy and Electra holding each other in the same manner, in the same tub — while the end credits roll overtop of them.

Match Cut: Several, as Murphy connects his feelings to his memories. The film employs 12 frames of black between these moments, as a method of communicating the approximate amount of time between thinking a thought, and realizing and understanding that thought.
