Too much of everything

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Awesome Movie

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I hate to give a NOE movie any less then an 8 rating. Especially a movie like this, that is so unique. But boy was it way to long to enjoy. The excitement and fascination just got kinda choked out of me while watching. Which is a shame. because there is a masterpiece in there. And on that note a shout out to "short" art-house films like "Daft Punk's Electroma" and "The Tracy Fragments".

I enjoyed it, VERY much. The colors and the camera-work are mesmerizing, feels like everything is real although everything feels to be surreal. It was really a mind-blower, but in a slow, calm and gorgeous way. The length of the movie gives justice, every second is either beautiful or interesting. I HAD to light some cigarettes twice during the movie, but not because it is boring, but because you just feel like you MUST light some cigarettes. It is all about the atmosphere this movie has. It is a bit art film, but that's only a good thing. I recommend it to everyone who want to watch something out of the ordinary, watch something messy yet well-understandable, and just want to chill out a bit, perhaps.

Turn off the lights, lock your eyes on the screen and be dazed. This brutally honest visualization of life will burn itself into your head. Gaspar Noé has made a movie like no other i have seen before. The closest comparison may be "2001: A Space Odyssey", yet incredibly this movie even transcends Kubricks nauseating travel through space and time. "Enter the Void" has not a single traditional shot, but slowly floats through life and death of the main protagonist, flashing at you its neon lights and taking you through grimy streets. It is, as the movie proclaims itself, "the greatest trip of all", and leaves drug-filled Tokyo as flickering backdrop, while exposing the viewer to every harsh, brutal, sexual, desperate, panicked, euphoric and dirty facet of life. There is no hiding from the imagery presented, no pretending, no being above it. As foreign and shocking as the life shown may be to you, it is entirely human, entirely real. What aspects you will take away from this experience i can not tell you, but there are many moments to ponder, many traumas to relate to. Ultimately, what ties "Enter the Void" to movies you have seen before, is the overarching idea of life and death. The human spirit transcending any individual life. A message tackled before, but never before delivered so shockingly honest."Enter the Void" is a great, great work of art. Be open to experience something uncomfortable, shocking and unfamiliar, and you'll be rewarded with a life lesson you will never forget.

Holy F*cking Sh*t Balls...Not really a review. More like gushing fan mail. I don't have enough superlatives to describe how visceral and real this is(on one hand) and completely out there on another(hand). How ever trippy it is, what really moved me was how REAL some things felt.It was awesome to see Tokyo 'behind the scenes', all messed up, pimpy and dirty as hell. It's a breath of fresh air to see a major city for what it is(actually);a cesspool of too many people occupying the same piece of land. Hollywood always likes to employ the 'best of tourism pics' when it shoots something on location-this film, shows you the mould growing on everything.The high rise drug dens and neon sex clubs and the way they are portrayed make you feel as if you are about to catch a venereal disease on your eye balls.The long trip scenes and uncomfortable flights over the city(and inside it-LOL) almost make you wonder if the afterlife exists and if Gaspar Noe was somehow privy to it-it almost made me believe in a god.What I enjoyed most is how the gritty, real elements of the film flow into this drug fuelled, afterlife fantasia and the effect it had on me. The first time I watched this film I had a full blown panic attack, imagining what my own death would be like and the experience stayed with me weeks after. I love a film that gets under your skin and changes you(they are so rare).Noe has the courage to show life without the trappings of the romantic age:the world, for the most part, is not a pretty place and more often than not there is some f*cked up sh*t going on somewhere. Even when I watched his more recent film 'Love' I got the same impression:THIS is real life.As such it wont make you feel good or comfortable or happy but even so, one can't help feeling that this film is nothing short of a pure affirmation of life.Whatever your tastes, if you haven't seen this or one of his other films, you just don't have a conception of what cinema could be in the modern age.Well worth it's extended run time.
