official description

"I could stare at this movie for days and not get tired of the sensation. A mash-up of the sacred, the profane, and the brain-dead, Enter the Void is addictive." – Karina Longworth, The Village Voice

French provoke-auteur Gaspar Noé (I Stand Alone, Irreversible) returns with this neon-lit, Kubrick-baiting psychedelic sexual melodrama. From the beginning of its Godardian flick-font title sequence, Enter the Void propels the viewer into the drug-addled headspace and perspective of Oscar (Nathaniel Brown), a small-time drug dealer in Tokyo, whose murder leaves him a lingering ghost watching over his sister Linda (Paz de la Huerta), in even her most intimate moments. Shot almost entirely from Oscar's spectral point of view, Enter the Void is a visual tour-de-force, its extreme aesthetic pushing the boundaries of cinematic form and its unrestrainedly shocking content building to a (literal) climax of wondrous redemption. "An exceptional work . . . What largely distinguishes it, beyond the stunning cinematography, is that this is the work of an artist who's trying to show us something we haven't seen before" (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times).

Exclusive Engagement begins Thursday, December 30.
