![]() Still, in flashbacks, we see how Murphy's relationship with Omi ironically started because of Electra, and how Electra and Murphy's relationship was always a co-dependent one. He recalls Electra because her mother calls him, giving him a sentimental oasis to cling to in order to escape his life with Omi. ![]() He is not however in control of his emotions, so his memories are fragmented, and out of order. In "Love," Murphy essentially relives a past life. "Love" is accordingly a prickly consideration of a past-tense sexual relationship from the perspective of a present-tense relationship that's well past its expiration date. Think of "Love" as a time travel movie, but about really sad young people you probably wouldn't want to hang out with in real life. Murphy may be concerned with his romantic feelings for Electra, but he's also a brat who blames his wife Omi ( Klara Kristin) for his loveless marriage. But because Noé wants viewers to see Murphy's memories as a womb-like retreat, the first thing that impresses viewers about present-day Murphy is his petulance, expressed immediately through Glusman's flat, affect-less voiceover narration voice. "Love" unsentimentally depicts Murphy's affair with Electra ( Aomi Muyock) as a series of flashbacks, showing us all the information we need through the lens of Murphy's present-day emotions. ![]() ![]() "I'm inside my head," Murphy ( Karl Glusman), a humorless young man in lust, says at one point in "Love," French provocateur Gaspar Noé's sexually-explicit drama about romance and, well, being inside your head. ![]()
