Loris Gréaud Sculpt is a social science fiction movie that
depicts unprecedented shapes and experiences, along with obsessions and
fantasies. The film follows the thoughts of a man about whom we know
very little, who seems to be constantly developing the concept of what
experiencing beauty, thought, or obsession can be, despite the risks to
which the subjects are exposed in the long term.
It offers a unique experience to each viewer who sees it as an immersive environment and the film's content will be interpreted differently by each solitary visitor.For this presentation, the Bing Theater will be reconfigured for only one audience member at a time.

Do not attempt this marathon at home! The brilliantly brain-dead,
irresponsible ode to camaraderie known as “Jackass” quietly debuted on
MTV at the height of the Boy Band boom, and hasn’t yet lost an ounce of
its power to shock, amaze and guffaw us to the ground. Despite the
small-screen origins of “Jackass,” its three theatrical features demand
to be seen on the big screen, where a packed crowd can vicariously rock
to every ingenious stunt, devilish prank and life-threatening punchline.
Forget reality TV - this is art. “God help me, thumbs up.” - Roger Ebert, on JACKASS: THE MOVIE.
