Albert Serra's "Liberte"(2019)is art for the sake of art. The film is meticulously paced and shot to create a "Peeping Tom" effect. The storyline is based on a play written by Serra and the film follows the format of a play. Immediately it is thus not everyone's cup of tea. The theme, which focus on high brow libertarians who who effectively ex-communicated by Louis XVI and who enjoys a night of debauchery also will not find favour with most audiences. That said Serra has a unique way of making light of famous works of the era, most notably those of the Marquis de Sade, and the film never feels heavy or for that matter pornographic (this despite some visuals which will not sit well with the Bible schools). The film is more about a bit of a chuckle than anything else and works rather well. 8/10.

Such a film is a whole philosophy, the director himself is totally atypical for the world of commercial film. Sure, it's hard to ignore the main theme of the movie, but that's the key. Many other "R" or 18+ movies are already on the market for just a few sex scenes, while Serra's film is about it from start to finish. It's a movie about eros zombification, nothing else.

I gave 1 star just because 0 is not possible. Nothing can evacuate a movie theater faster than this film, including a poisonous gas attack. All we saw throughout 2 hours was a bunch of zombie-like men and women pissing on each other. There is nothing aesthetical, artistic, creative in the movie. Characters are pure psychopaths with empty eyes who lack sexual imagination. They do not arouse any sexual feelings. All they do is make you vomit. It can not be even classified as rough . Total waste of time.
