Enter The Void by Gaspar Noé

yes, most def

ya, i didnt like being reminded of that stupid movie

haven't seen enter the void, but requiem deserves at least two stupids

No way this doesn't end up my favorite movie of the year.

Gaspar Noé describes the subject of the film as "the sentimentality of mammals and the shimmering vacuity of the human experience."

boy, can't wait.

(actually i will see this, despite my best intentions, so i should ask: is this gonna be one of those pointless to catch on dvd deals?)

don't think the opening credits would have quite the same impact on a telly and too tempting to stop it to go and do a piss although maybe something it could benefit from

is this gonna be one of those pointless to catch on dvd deals

watching this on a big screen in the dark is kind of crucial to what dude is going for. don't miss it

it would certainly lose a lot on a small screen - the only place that showed it near me was the local arthouse cinema which has a screen about 1/6 of the size of the ones in the multiplex, so we sat right down the front. It is *very* immersive in parts, and I think this comes down to the incredible sound design as well as the visuals - plenty of points where 20 minutes would pass and I'd suddenly think "I'm sitting in a cinema watching this" because I was so hooked into it.

yup - agree with conrad and whiney on that.

Waaaaaay too long. If I want to watch amazing visuals and characters I don't give a shit about, I'll stick to Speed Racer thank you. This was pretty poor.

― Eric H.

So it's homophobic, eh?

A remarkable failure on the part of filmmakers worldwide if this winds up anybody's best film of the year.

It's Eric! He loves, you know, Dario Argento.

caught this through the IFC On-Demand feature. i'm sure it was definitely a lesser experience on a small screen, but i was still completely !!!O_O!!! through the first 30 minutes or so. it does lose a bit of its luster as it goes on and the premise is pretty dopey, but as a strictly audio/visual experience it's kinda fucking awesome and certainly much more of a spectacle than something like Avatar was advertised to be.

but not as much as Speed Racer.

Eric likes De Palma and Argento, so I think we might have a similar appreciation for this sorta thing.

I haven't seen Speed Racer. Maybe I should.

If it's trippy crazy visuals with characters you don't give a shit about, it looks better and is much, much shorter.

this movie is so goofy. but im looking forward to seeing it again.

and ya it shoulda been an hour shorter. but i feel like i say that about everything these days.

total kudos to the fact that Paz De La Huerta wasn't the worst thing about it. That's an achievement.

i dont understand who u are giving kudos to

I am watching all three Noé films for the first time this week. Not sure whether to dread or anticipate.

jesus, anticipate the dread. bailed on irreversible about halfway through. have since played the cruel joke of recommending it to friends, most of whom don't make it through the first scene.

when I'm not on my phone I'll link to my interview

I mean, I haven't seen this, but I have to bet that it out-DePalmas DePalma by 100000%. Would love to see Gaspar's Body Double.

I think I've been exposed to enough over-the-top violence of all stripes over the last three years (new wave of French horror, Ex-Drummer, A Serbian Film etc.)that I am pretty much, if not totally desensitized, at least far less likely to be viscerally upset by movie violence. It's more the tireless misanthropy/juvenalia that worries me, something that's def in evidence in I Stand Alone, which I'm currently halfway through.

Noé do i wanna see this

Are Noé and Houllebecq seen as two birds of a feather in France?

Nicely done!

Kinda confirms a few things I already had a suspicion about based on watching I Stand Alone.

that he smells bad?

did i put that in haha

that was actually a hard one to do, what a bad interview i had with him.

i mean, he was very grunty and non-responsive.

It was about the level of discourse I was expecting I guess? Like his insight that De La Huerta "probably cries a lot."

haha that's my favourite quote

forgot how bad the acting is in this. kinda doesnt matter that much tho

Saw it Monday morning. How often is a movie TWO HOURS too long?

Homophobia/sexism in tow in spades, philosophically/spiritually retarded, occasionally beautiful/touching but mostly FUCKING BORING.

Mostly sexism, I should say. This shit ain't got nothin' on Irreversible in that respect.

Btwn this and Limits of Control Paz de la Huerta seems to have a personal mission to show up in the most self-indulgent bullshit ever.

bleurrrgh saw this last night. felt completely abused by the end of it. audible sigh of relief from the whole cinema when it finally fucking finished

I read this as Limits of Control Paz de la Huerta.

the opening credits (as posted above) are the best part iirc!

^awesome!!!

Loved this movie, despite its faults. Kind of weird that I watched it the same week I started planning my first trip to Tokyo. (no pun intended).
