I was intrigued after watching the first instalment which was managed to convey the frenzied nightlife of New York albeit without a coherent story. Unfortunately Bizarre Again has an even less coherent story. The actors can only do what they can when the story (and the dialogues) jump from pillar to post and things happen for apparently no reason. The writer also wants to tackle two important and delicate themes but these remain out of focus and that is a shame. Pierre Prieur and Raquel Nave give the only convincing performances but I honestly think most actors would have found it difficult to give decent performances when hardly any of the events make sense. There are some beautiful shots of the landscape. Perhaps the photography and editing could have been used to better effect to tell the story, and less focus should have been placed in the incoherent dialogue. At least then this could have been classed as an "art movie" but the lack of dramaturgic structure is too sever for the movie to make any sense.
I heard they had stated a crowdfunding campaign to create this film and promised that fan could be involved, if this was the case then it would explain a lot. Although there is far less nudity than in the original Bizarre so I doubt fans would have voted for that.
My advice: if you have enjoyed Bizzarre, you may not enjoy this sequel.
