Netflix viewers were stunned after watching an extremely bold film, Love, which they are calling the most daring cinematic experience ever.
According to reports, this is a 2015 arthouse film that has recently regained attention on TikTok. Users are sharing their astonished reactions by posting videos about the film’s extraordinary opening scenes.
The trend started with a TikTok user who challenged viewers to watch the film on Netflix and record their reactions to its beginning. The video received 1.4 million views but was later removed from the platform.
One viewer wrote: “The opening scene of the film completely shocked me.” Another said: “I’m still trying to recover from watching this film. I thought it would be just another European romantic movie, but the first few scenes were far bolder than anything expected on a major streaming platform.”
Another user commented: “I had to clear my watch history right after watching the film. From now on, I’ll thoroughly research any movie before watching it based on TikTok recommendations.”
This film was presented in a 3D format at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, while Netflix is showing a different version. The story follows an American young man named Murphy, who lives in Paris. One day, he receives a call from his ex-girlfriend Electra’s mother, informing him that Electra has gone missing.
This news sends him down memory lane, revisiting his intense love affair, emotional turmoil, jealousy, and self-destructive relationship. The film is told in a nonlinear format, depicting Murphy’s life choices and their consequences. It also portrays his relationship with another woman, Omi, who becomes the mother of his child, ultimately leading to the end of his relationship with Electra.
