Cinematic Void Presents CLIMAX

ABOUT THE FILM:

In French and English with English subtitles.

From director Gaspar Noé comes a hypnotic, hallucinatory and ultimately hair-raising depiction of a party that descends into delirium over the course of one wintry night. In CLIMAX, a troupe of young dancers gathers in a remote and empty school building to rehearse. Following an unforgettable opening performance lit by virtuoso cinematographer Benoît Debie and shot by Noé himself, the troupe begins an all-night celebration that turns nightmarish as the dancers discover they’ve been pounding cups of sangria laced with potent LSD. Tracking their journey from jubilation to chaos and full-fledged anarchy, Noé observes crushes, rivalries, and violence amid a collective psychedelic meltdown. Starring Sofia Boutella and a cast of professional dancers, Climax is Noé’s most brazen and visionary statement yet.
