Seemingly spurred by a desire to top the strobing intensity of the party and club scenes in his preceding film Irreversible, Noé set his follow up in the Tokyo club circuit, negotiated by two American siblings, stripper Linda and her drug addict brother, Oscar (Paz de la Huerta and Nathaniel Brown). A volatile experiment in subjective camerawork, which seeks to represent both the experience of DMT hallucinations and the out-of-body drift of a spirit after death, Noé’s free-floating film journeys beyond the constraints of the body and into its most intimate crevasses.
