Described by its creator as a “psychedelic melodrama”,
the mammoth festival cut of Gaspar Noé's “Enter the Void” is at once a profound
meditation on the human perception of death as well as an utterly unwatchable
piece of indulgent Eurotrash nonsense. Combined, the two experiences make for a
flawed masterpiece.
For anyone who has cared to check out the one or two
previous films to the director’s credit you are aware that he does not shy away
from the disturbing or the ugly. But
if you’re aware of that then you’re probably aware of how memorable his
camerawork is too.
‘Dizzying’ would be putting in lightly.
