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

hursday and my night was set as I visited the Music Box Theater for the final screening of Gasper Noe’s Enter The Void (2009). Wow. Is it possible to like and dislike a film at the same time? Feels like my eyeballs were assaulted for 2 hours. I’m disappointed that Music Box chose to screen this film in their small theater rather than the big screen. Definitely loses some of its impact on a smaller screen. Feel sorry for those who see this film on the small screen for their first viewing. Definitely won’t be the same experience. You have to see it to know why. A few people left my screening. I’m already anticipating my next viewing.
