Overview
This psychedelic tour of life after death is seen entirely from the point of view of Oscar, a young American drug dealer and addict living in Tokyo with his prostitute sister, Linda. When Oscar is killed by police during a bust gone bad, his spirit journeys from the past—where he sees his parents before their deaths—to the present—where he witnesses his own autopsy—and then to the future, where he looks out for his sister from beyond the grave.

Viewing Notes
Wow.
Wow.
I really don’t know how to process what I just watched. Gaspar Noe’s Enter The Void is stunning, breathtaking, disturbing and beautiful. It’s a movie that I’m sure will stay with me (whether I like it or not) forever.
Enter The Void is a movie that’s hard to explain. From it’s amazing first-person sequences that include eye-blinks and internal thoughts, to it’s incredible and graceful cinematography as a character’s spirit follows the people in his life. You have to see it to believe it.
Not for the faint of heart, while some sequences are pretty sexually graphic, but Enter The Void is such a visual and technical tour-de-force that it’s hard to ignore. Worth watching if you’re a lover of thought provoking cinema.
