Cult Night: Enter the Void (2009) - Director's Cut

Playing as part of Academy's monthly CULT NIGHT!

Eight years after the controversial and shocking IRREVERSIBLE, director Gaspar Noé cemented his reputation as the enfant terrible of New French Extremity with perhaps his most challenging film to date – a hallucinatory meditation on life, death and rebirth, shot entirely in the first person.

American siblings Oscar (Nathaniel Brown) and Linda (Paz de la Huerta, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL) eke out a shared existence in Tokyo – he by dealing drugs, she by working as a stripper. However, tragedy strikes when a deal turns sour and Oscar is shot by the police. As his lifeless body lies on the floor of a public toilet, his soul floats high above the neon-drenched Tokyo streets, observing the effect of his death on his sister and reliving the events in his life that brought him to this juncture.

Described by Noé himself as a "psychedelic melodrama", ENTER THE VOID boasts mesmerising cinematography by the award-winning Benoît Debie (CLIMAX, SPRING BREAKERS) and a hypnotic soundtrack of experimental and electronic music. Powerful and transcendent, it offers viewers an immersive cinematic experience like no other.
