Think Celine with a splattering of Bukowski. Godard as re-configured by David Lynch. On the other hand, don’t think. Just experience. The film is a dark look at a white French misanthropic butcher who blames his miseries on minorities &unsubmissive women.

The stylistic and structural disorientation Noé creates leaves the viewer feeling unmoored from a stable frame...

This is attention-grabbing, repulsive, vital cinema.

[VIDEO ESSAY] "I Stand Alone" (Gaspar No's feature debut) is as much a philosophical denunciation of humanity as it is a thought-provoking treatise on mental illness (as a socially communicable disease).
