Some feelings can only be acted upon, never spoken. Some desires simmer like volcanoes, erupting into twisted yet pure magma of life. Some people, once in love, burn themselves alive like moths to a flame—madly in love, deeply in pain. Some love cold as death, where a near-death experience unlocks raw desire, revealing that what could kill you... may not be fatal at all. Giloo presents six brand-new XX films, inviting you to surrender your senses. Whether it’s the melancholy of animals after sex, or the liberation of desire through sex, they’re not the kind of XX films you think they are. You ask what XX means? You can do it—but you can’t say it.
The world is on the brink of collapse. What do you see? In this chaotic era, reality often proves stranger than fiction. Human greed, anger, ignorance, and endless desires and attachments lead to all sorts of uncontrolled and absurd behaviors: authoritarianism reigns, fame and fortune are paramount, violence is rampant, human rights are trampled... The world is gradually collapsing, as if on the verge of destruction. Through cinema, these insane visions are recreated, and as we watch, we remind ourselves to preserve that last shred of kindness and humanity.
Since childhood, I’ve often dreamed of being on the move—traveling along roads, crossing landscapes. Over time, I developed a habit of noticing similar scenes in films and documentaries. As long as we keep moving, stories and encounters will unfold naturally. Things begin to get interesting—or not. Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? These questions hover around us like ghosts, always present. This playlist is dedicated to all travelers on Giloo. You don’t need to pack anything. Just hit the road. It’s time to go—Are you coming?
The erotic classic The Lover boldly pushes the boundaries of sensual cinema. Freaks blends horror and surrealism into a provocative spectacle of visual violence and beauty. In In the Realm of the Senses, an unforgettable depiction of suffocating, all-consuming desire secures its place in film history. In Oasis, two marginalized individuals find a love purer than anything the world around them can understand. And in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie share the screen—and a legendary, forbidden kiss. These films dare to confront desire, taboo, and tenderness—through shock, poetry, and unforgettable images.
