If that content strikes you as a little too obscene and disgusting, know that it only makes up half of the entire film, which clocks in at more than three hours without seeming even remotely that long. It's a theme that also appears in Babylon Flixtor, which Damien Chazelle has called a "hate letter to Hollywood." Because Babylon's central theme is the power of cinema while denouncing Hollywood's dark heart and its rotten sins, crew members die on movie sets here as part of a gallows humor gag.
