Absolutely Maddening

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2019)

This movie is great. What makes it great is it's simplicity. The introduction to the movie's characters from the very beginning makes the characters more relatable as the film moves through. It highlights the dancer's good intentions and how they want to pursue what they love. However, as the movie progresses, Gaspar Noé begins to explore our infatuation with violence and destruction. The sensory overload and consistent 150bpm music becomes almost hypnotic as the LSD from the sangria begins to take its toll. This film is outstanding and a must-see. Absolutely maddening.
