crazy insane LSD trip.

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2019)

The first shot opens and it's like it's straight out of a Tarantino film, long title sequence then transitions to us meeting all these dancers that are brought to this studio. The first 40 minutes is all about getting to know who each of these young characters are before things.get.crazy.
the second half is just insane. constant screaming with a pulsating heart of music constantly playing in the background. This whole movie feels like you are watching a music video... lots of dancing, there is not much dialogue, really no plot instead it's all based on character interactions.
Sofia Boutella (who has an extensive dancing background - including dancing for Madonna - i've been a fan of hers for years and really love the acting choices she has made recently), she plays our main lead that we follow the majority of the time and this is where it turns into a Birdman style camera work that seems to never break. The camera just follows character to character with a series of shots of crazy things happening, either to the character we are following or any of the character's nearby.
You are trying to piece together what exactly is happening, but the camera doesn't let you know anymore than these characters do, until the very final moments.
i'm not sure how much I liked this, but it's very creative, the french director Gaspar Noé really captured this crazy frenetic night in a really insane way. so just for that, it's worth checking it out, if you can handle it.
