Enter the Void Trailers

This psychedelic tour of life after death is seen entirely from the point of view of Oscar, a young American drug dealer and addict living in Tokyo with his prostitute sister, Linda. When Oscar is killed by police during a bust gone bad, his spirit journeys from the past -- where he sees his parents before their deaths -- to the present -- where he witnesses his own autopsy -- and then to the future, where he looks out for his sister from beyond the grave.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I am not a huge fan of Gaspar Noe's work, i've only watch this and "Love" and ETV and honestly i'm not impressed by any of those two. Enter the void is an interesnting film for the first 30 minutes while it introduces you to the wierd look and feel of the film. Saddly after those thirty minutes passed the film was incredibly boring. I actually didn't watched the whole movie and this was because i found it incredibly insufferable, i turn it off after the hour and thirty minutes when I realized the film had still and hour left. The movie has week performances, week characters, boring and unisteresting script and weird sounding diologue. Although the film looks amazing but that its not enough to save a nearly three hour long film with bada perfomances and a boring story. Some day I may finish the film to fulfill my curiosity but for now i walk out very dissapointed.

Never before had I walked out of a movie theatre. But this movie proved to be such an enormous amount of pretentious negative BS that I decided to stop being polite and respectful. This flick didn't deserve that. Not my attention, nor my time. Not my money too, but alas, too late. I was told that the movie cost 24 million to make and grossed only 1 million. So justice is already there.The plot is made up of pseudo-spiritual drivel. Thin as the ice on a lake after one night of frost. And it's all explained in one the first scenes of the movie. So as an audience member you must sit through more than two and a half hours of grueling and totally predictable clichés, watching this tiny plot unravel as was predicted by one of the characters. How deep it all is!That's my main problem with this particular piece of sick "art": the suggestion of deepness. Deep thoughts, rich symbolism, intangibility and mystery, rawness and confrontation, life and death. Plus an overwhelming array of startling and bewildering images (and sound effects).What is actually offered instead, when you look past the charade, is a so very often depicted world of drug users and whores, living on the edge in some metropolis somewhere in the world. Superficial and bent on shocking the audience. Nothing deep about that. It's like Hollywood with sour popcorn. Simply distasteful. And nothing new.The moment I chose to walk away from all that was when I saw child actors (really young) obviously being abused to serve the director's sick purpose. Now THAT I couldn't and wouldn't take anymore.I can't believe that anyone with a keen eye is willing to swallow such utter nonsense which isn't even worthy of the moniker "film". It's rather an abuse of that medium, I find. May the director soon be cured of his mental ills so he won't bother movie-goers much longer. That would be my advice (maybe Lars "von" Trier can join him, another troubled man of the same kind, in my mind).Enter The Void, it's quite an apt title. Devoid of real meaning, only smoke and mirrors, very cheap. No, I didn't enter. I left. Goodbye.

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.

This movie was....curious. While I didn't care for the setting because while it's Tokyo, it's the first movie I've seen that didn't give me a Japan feel. The movie feels like a crazy drug ride and if you don't pay attention you'll miss the time jumps.The first person point of view is a good perspective for this movie and the characters are gritty, sad, and believable. There's lots of gratuitous sex and nudity but in between that there are a myriad of metaphors that will make you think about life and how one perceives things that happens to them.The picture could be better with a few drinks but if you do drink, you are sure to miss many of the heartbreaking things that happen to the characters both physically and psychologically.
