Enter the Void | Gaspar Noé | France | 137’00”
‘An ambitious, deeply mystic and provocative movie with earth-shattering FX’
Oscar and his sister Linda are recent arrivals in Tokyo. Oscar is a small time drug dealer, and Linda works as a nightclub stripper. One night, Oscar is shot in a police bust, as he lies dying, his spirit, faithful to the promise he made his sister – that he would never abandon her – refuses to abandon the world of the living. It wanders through the city, his visions growing evermore distorted, evermore nightmarish, past present and future merge in a hallucinatory maelstrom. With a story out of sequence, this film shows siblings Oscar and Linda in their intimate moments. The experience is jarring at times and blissful at others.
In this film Noe combines hallucinations, POV shooting, and out-of-body experiences. If you are disturbed by strobe lights, drug use, shaky hand-held cameras, spinning cameras, psychedelic imagery, blood, sex, abortion, breastfeeding or a graphic auto wreck then you should probably avoid this film.
Lauded as ‘too controversial and too bizarre to appeal to most people’, it will undoubtedly find its niche as one of the greatest cult classics of all time.
Warning: anyone with epilepsy should not watch this film
