Details

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.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
jakebriggs-69109 Enter the Void is a deadly movie and you clearly need to be in the right frame to even enjoy it- not that there is anything to enjoy in this metaphysical output by Gasper Noe. The cinematography and lighting is stunning and Tokyo looks, well just like Tokyo. It's a bit overlong but quite provocative. I am still undecided as the film left me visibly shaken because of its extreme content. You should see this film and make your own judgement. Visually stunning and effortlessly flowing Enter the Void is more of an experience than just a movie.
dchaves-44845 I am not a huge fan of Gaspar Noe's work, i've only watch this and "Love" and ETV and honestly i'm not impressed by any of those two. Enter the void is an interesnting film for the first 30 minutes while it introduces you to the wierd look and feel of the film. Saddly after those thirty minutes passed the film was incredibly boring. I actually didn't watched the whole movie and this was because i found it incredibly insufferable, i turn it off after the hour and thirty minutes when I realized the film had still and hour left. The movie has week performances, week characters, boring and unisteresting script and weird sounding diologue. Although the film looks amazing but that its not enough to save a nearly three hour long film with bada perfomances and a boring story. Some day I may finish the film to fulfill my curiosity but for now i walk out very dissapointed.
misterbels I must write something, just 'must', I'm an almost 60 year old Belgian living in Vietnam, first 8 years in Saigon, and now finally and luckily out in the countryside again. Last year, I was in Tokyo for two weeks and loved it to bits, so I understand the attraction of Tokyo for young people. Enter The Void depicts Tokyo not only from a western eye but from an Asian eye too, I cannot explain why but it does. As an artist myself I understand the desolateness one may experience in any foreign culture, in this case, Asian.I assume that most of my colleague-workers as teachers, both in Tokyo or HCMC can relate to this movie well, not only because of the setting of ourselves in such an other culture but - and here I need to be careful - most expats in Asia have mostly 'a reason' to be in Asia. My reason to be here has to do with the death of my brother. And I have found a motive and reason to continue living here because of it.Alienation is part of my life, yet 'connection' too. Let's put it like this, one may be alienated from alienation, which is bad of course and yet again connect with life in another dimension, not always understanding why but yet doing so. A relief. Art is coming to terms with an alienation based in a memory that hasn't died. This movie does that greatly, and I don't think viewers may easily understand the producer of this movie, but this movie - as art usually does and should be doing - transports the viewer to its own familial trauma's and alienations. How we cope with them is the stuff for psychiatrist and yes, you name it, artists. This movie is a work of art. THANK YOU PRODUCER.
chadlingard Holy F*cking Sh*t Balls...Not really a review. More like gushing fan mail. I don't have enough superlatives to describe how visceral and real this is(on one hand) and completely out there on another(hand). How ever trippy it is, what really moved me was how REAL some things felt.It was awesome to see Tokyo 'behind the scenes', all messed up, pimpy and dirty as hell. It's a breath of fresh air to see a major city for what it is(actually);a cesspool of too many people occupying the same piece of land. Hollywood always likes to employ the 'best of tourism pics' when it shoots something on location-this film, shows you the mould growing on everything.The high rise drug dens and neon sex clubs and the way they are portrayed make you feel as if you are about to catch a venereal disease on your eye balls.The long trip scenes and uncomfortable flights over the city(and inside it-LOL) almost make you wonder if the afterlife exists and if Gaspar Noe was somehow privy to it-it almost made me believe in a god.What I enjoyed most is how the gritty, real elements of the film flow into this drug fuelled, afterlife fantasia and the effect it had on me. The first time I watched this film I had a full blown panic attack, imagining what my own death would be like and the experience stayed with me weeks after. I love a film that gets under your skin and changes you(they are so rare).Noe has the courage to show life without the trappings of the romantic age:the world, for the most part, is not a pretty place and more often than not there is some f*cked up sh*t going on somewhere. Even when I watched his more recent film 'Love' I got the same impression:THIS is real life.As such it wont make you feel good or comfortable or happy but even so, one can't help feeling that this film is nothing short of a pure affirmation of life.Whatever your tastes, if you haven't seen this or one of his other films, you just don't have a conception of what cinema could be in the modern age.Well worth it's extended run time.
