Strangers, accidental readers, ghosts and the souls of code, above is the poster for the latest film by Gaspar Noe, the director of "Irreversible".
Not sure I wanna put too much in the review about the actual movie because it's so essential you go into it without knowing too much. I guess I don't want to reveal too much about the plot and I suggest that you steer clear of summaries, reviews, conversation and spoilers-- just go to the nearest theater that's playing it and watch it. It's new, daring, frightening, provocative and extremely discomforting. It's the most creative piece of modern cinema I've seen in a while.
Oh and seeing it high on pot helps as there are numerous psychedelic experience scenes that are both artful and very accurate.
It's not completely abstract though; there is a story but it's paired with the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" and the characters first-person perspective of being influenced by psychedelic drugs and more.
I still feel a bit rattled. I think you guys should watch it. Minus those that wouldn't watch it.
10/10
P.S., the opening credits MUST be seen. Don't be epileptic.
P.S.S., see it in a theater for full effect-- also, the pirated version online is an old 'first-cut' from 2009 but most of all, this director deserves to be rewarded $$$
P.S.S.S., it's loooong.
