Enter the Void

Director: Gaspar Noe, Gaspar Noe

2009 / 145min / 35mm

Seemingly spurred by a desire to top the strobing intensity of the party and club scenes in his preceding film Irréversible, 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.
