Stupid Dumb People Making the Same Stupid Dumb People Mistakes.

Rating: 1/10 (18 February 2020)

Leave it to Gaspar Noe for always illuminating the darker, seedier, ugly side of human life. Pushing film boundaries like Marian Dora, Jorg Buttgerheit, Yorgos Lanthimos, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and others, he manages to sculpt movies Hollywood would never touch with a ten foot pole. "Climax", one of his tamer offerings, is still far from Hollywood, or Bollywood, fare, but it can get under some people's skins if they're unprepared for the weirdness. I'd give this film a higher rating but, in the end, it was really a flick full of pretentious pap that answers this question: What would happen if you give a roomful of stupid, non-thinking, non-intellectual young people a spiked drink that loosened all their inhibitions? Not recommended to anyone with half a brain.
