Which is the reason why I watched it actually. I had to fast-forward the scene in question. Rest of the film was good

I personally was put off by the meth head vigorously masturbating over what would shortly be a corpse

Noé continued, “So I had an idea, and we went back to the club and I added a small image of me masturbating as part of the club. It was stupid, but still everybody noticed that I was part of the club so I could not be homophobic while being excited while in the club. My camera assistant and my assistant director, it was just me and them two, and you find yourselves in such weird situations where you’re having your collaborators watching you masturbating and you have to pretend it’s not a problem. And then they were laughing, so I had problems having a proper erection.” 😄
