Babylon Notations et commentaires
- nicolai10820 mars 2026I absolutely don't understand why the reviews of this movie are so bad. Damien Chazelle has created an epic here. Partly very crude humor, but with a lot of love for the medium of film as such.
- chris williams15 mars 2026Interesting Film.
- Megan Cruz31 juillet 2025Saw at the Egyptian on 70 mm and my life was changed all over again. I make no apologies for this gluttonous feast of a film. Babylon hive forever.
- thomasrogers75314 janvier 2026One of the biggest love letters to movies I have ever seen, I’m truly at a loss for words Thank God for Cinema
- mickerdoo17 août 2025Exhilarating. About the debauchery of LA, relevance, growing old and living to the fullest. Punches you in the face. Wild imagery.
- Thyrius11 décembre 2025This movie has a rare ability to answer a very simple question: Why do we love cinema ?
- stuhannaford14 juillet 2025I thoroughly enjoyed it, but to do so, you must endure the first half an hour, in order for the film to show its true colours. Just watched in isolation, it is brash, obscene, fantastical, nonsense. However, it sets up the narrative to highlight the utter absurdity of Hollywood and fame. Whilst many view it as a love letter to the golden era of silent movie, I found it anything but. For me, it simply showed human nature when the going is good, against the tribulations when it’s not. Death, over indulgence, depression, prostitution, greed, cry’s for help… none of it is oh so noticeable when the sun is shining, your back is being patted and you’re being celebrated for sheer good fortune. The right place at the right time? Perhaps, more likely the right face for the right person. It’s the dispensable nature of people, to those with power and money. No longer useful? No longer required. It’s a feeling not so unique to those with fame, but relatable to pretty much everyone. Hopes and dreams given and dashed in the blink of an eye, and as the film progresses, the moral decay becomes more apparent. The three leads are all outstanding, in particular Pitt, who embodies the somewhat ironic role of visual appeal versus perceived talent. You laugh with him, you cry with him. His joy and his despair, are both easy to feel. The toss away starlet, the money making up and comer… traits we still see today amongst those that crave the glamour and splendour… unaware of the pitfalls. Maguire, however, encapsulates the dark, seedy, disgusting underbelly of the glitzy facade in his small role, which for those that know, may not be too much of an act. The truly ugly side of the business is acknowledged by some, and walked away from, relatively unscathed. For others, the lure is too great, and despite a set of wood, nails, glue and paint, all hastily being thrown together amidst carnage and chaos, the polish, the lights and the sparkle are impossible to resist until it is too late. Sadly, we have been living the last days of Babylon for quite some time it would seem, as we dance into the shadows ourselves.
- Abba3 août 2025I think I was a bit confused at first. The movie is much longer than I think it needs to be but towards the end, I understood the message. It was trying to send. I actually think it’s a pretty great movie. I think they can cut out about an hour of it to maintain interest, but I did like the story in the end.
- neuroparadox29 juillet 2025Can't believe this got snubbed by the Academy. It should have at least been nominated for Best Motion Picture Where the Opening Title Doesn't Appear Until After Thirty Minutes... A surprisingly stacked category, including: RRR and Drive My Car 🤣🤣🤣
- Kevin Ward4 juillet 2025Babylon is all at once a maximalist tribute to Hollywood cinema, an indulgence in its debaucherous excesses, and also an excess of those excesses. For every splash of brilliance there is plenty of poop and vomit and piss and blood and elephant poop and snake venom and rats blood to go around. Chazelle must not have had the hazmat suits required to leave any of it on the editing room floor. But I’m a huge fan of Singin’ in the Rain, and the many homages to that film along with the celebration of cinema in general still managed to leave me wonderstruck. (Highly recommend watching (or re-watching) Singin’ in the Rain) before you see this one.)
- PLEKTSIYA30 juin 2025Wannabe shocking, wannabe epic, with a wannabe poignant 'love letter to the movies' ending. Like Baz Luhrmann's GREAT GATSBY but more inept.
- Tyler S8 février 2025👍👍 9/10
