"It is not cinema anymore - it is sensation".
This film brings into focus both an experience of sensory over load and sensory depravation. I saw this as a part of Melbourne International Film Festival and it blew any other cinematic experience i have had to date out of the water. I felt like the images were literally throwing me around. A roller coaster ride that was experienced bodily. This film break ALL convention and taboos without apology, it was truly shocking at times - and i cant say a very pleasant experience - though that does not seem to be high on the directors priority list. My body was tense for the entire 2.5 hours of the film. The setting being in Japan and the design of the film itself was totally inspired by hyper realism as discussed in earlier blogs. In Enter the Void drugs bring about the internal rupture - breath, pulse, organ, carnal, sex - all things dark, bodily, human.
