Looks like it will "premier" again here. Not sure how edited it will be though. Fingers crossed.

I'm confused though, is it gonna be Intermezzo or Canto Due, the third one?

This is the premiere of the third film.

That's a real shame, why the hell do you make a third film that you want the world at one point to see, but not release the second one (even edited) in order to follow the story?

 

[Nochvemo]

It is an absolute nonsense.

Just an extract from the new movie.

I agree with you. It seems strange that they wouldn't even release a version with the sex scene cut out.

But it seems that the conflict is so complicated and infected, the director decided to just get on with the project instead of delaying it even more or abandoning the trilogy completely.

Honestly I kinda understand the actress as well, sure she agreed to film the cunnilingus scenes, but I get why she then got cold feet about showing it to the whole world and having these images "out there" forever.

It kind of makes you wonder how many other scenes have been filmed, but then left on the cutting room floor.

"I never bothered catching up with Canto Uno after its less-than-stellar reception, the whole Intermezzo debacle (still unreleased!) and the whispers about its (allegedly?) troubled production. So, sitting down for this, I realized it was actually my first time watching a «new» Kechiche in over a decade. And I got a little excited – because the first five minutes remind you: this man is a gifted director of dialogue and a great builder of tension.

The problem is that this «film» (can it even be called that?) is literally wall-to-wall dialogue. Yes, the characters feel lived-in and their little world feels real – as it so often does in his work – but when you're bombarded with conversations for nearly two hours straight, with barely a single establishing shot and zero breathing room, exhaustion sets in quickly.

That's why the change of pace in the final twenty minutes, as silly as they are as a whole, feels so welcome.

But then… it just ends. Abruptly. Like someone hit stop mid-reel.

What's here plays less like a finished work and more like an assembly of whatever footage they had, with no real shape. I'd watch a third part in a heartbeat – if only because of the many dangling threads – but we all know that's never going to happen. Which makes the non-ending sting all the more."

First review, although it's strange because I think it premiers tonight.

Some reviews are out no worthy mentions of sex scenes so far, at least from what I saw. One mention I saw was from the Guardian, but I don't really trust them, they can say a brief full frontal is explicit for them:

"Now the third film is here and … well, it’s shorter at least – just two and a quarter hours, and the only explicit sex is at the end."
