Enter the Void by Gaspar Noe



Gaspar Noe's first film since his ultraviolent, commercial success Irreversible, took over 10 years to materialize. Thank God he waited to make it because I doubt the CGI could have been that great then. I had reseen Irreversible that week, this time without skipping the worst bits (I was a young teen the first time around). I loved it and thought I'd go for 'Enter the Void' the following night.

Gaspar Noe hasn't calmed down since Irreversible, and Enter the void is just as mad and ambitious, if not more.

Oscar (Nathaniel Brown, here acting for his first gig/you can tell), an American drug dealer in Tokyo is joined by his sister Linda, played by clumsy bombshell Paz de la Huerta. He's set up by a mate, and finds himself shot by the police in the toilets of a bar of a club called The Void.
