the pleasure of feeling uncomfortable

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2018)

I loved Enter the Void (2009) and Irreversible (2002) and i knew that Gaspar Noé will make, this time too, an unforgettable movie. Through atypical technique which he masters terribly good, with psychedelic visuals and a heavy but dynamic load of suspense, succeeds to put in image the violent creeps of the world hidden in the human mind at certain moments of implacable delusion.
Important in this film is the hue - the contrast between the white of snow outside and the wild colour inside, the neon cinema which spread shades of reddish darkness (like a bleeding nightmare running through the hallways), the racial and sexual diversity. The whole dance floor looks like a sangria - the drink that represented the center point, the mechanism that made everything spin in a chaotic circle of dementia.
The eye of the camera reveals incredible dance skills, a hypnotizing choreography and the paranoia that grows in intensity to climax.
Life and death presented as terrifying experiences and the endless music that maintains an exhausting atmosphere, make you remember this movie a long time, make you live with it, love it, but did not want to see it again.
If this movie succeeds in making the spectator uncomfortable on this exhausting journey, Gaspar Noé will fall asleep satisfied.
