An Unique Experience

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2019)

Before people start screaming about how in Noe's other films some themes are explored better or he handles some techniques the best , this is the first time I've seen one of his films, and it gave me an emotion no other movie (or real life event, for that matter) had ever given me before. Never in my life have I hated so much experiencing something I adored with a passion. And that's Climax. I never want to see it again, and that's surprising, because I never had a problem handling dark themes or gore in films, but this was something else. So anxiety-inducing, so claustrophobic; it made me feel trapped and I enjoyed every second of it. It is a crime this movie did not get at least nominated for best cinematography at the Academy Awards, because the way the camera is handled is superb.
