French drama in which a group of dancers experience a bad trip after accidentally ingesting psychedelics at a party.
The ever-incendiary Gaspar Noé returns for an impressive, if somewhat irritating bad trip movie.
This is often upsetting (though never to the levels of Irréversible) but as energetic and handsome as its cast. At times you’ll be watching in horror, but you’ll never look away.
Like going to nightclub sober when everyone inside is already fucked.
The filmmaker creates a chamber piece that takes traditional dance movie elements and pushes them to crazy extremes.
A troupe of young dancers is sucked into an LSD-induced hell in Gaspar Noé’s latest grand guignol vision.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
