Vortex is a 2021 avant-garde psychological drama film written and directed by Gaspar Noé. It stars Dario Argento as a father and author, in his first leading role, alongside Françoise Lebrun as his wife, and Alex Lutz as their son, Stéphane. The film deals with the themes of the human condition and personal problems, uses a slow, minimal cinematic approach: a pockmarked, faded palette of the frame, deaf voices, and the use of low-frequency background sound.

Production

Vortex was conceived after some of the inspiration for the film came from Noé's experiences dealing with his mother’s dementia, as well as Noé being diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage that almost killed him in early 2020. In his first leading role, Argento, who lives in Italy, learned to speak in fluent but heavily accented French, sometimes pausing and fumbling to find the right word.

The film uses both split-screen and medium format, much like his previous film Lux Æterna (2019). The film was completed in post-production at an exceptionally fast pace; Noé began working on the script in February, filming took place set in northeast Paris, near the Stalingrad Station, between April and May, and the film was ready in July 2021.
