Gaspar Noé's Climax (2018)

[TheGodling]

L'enfant terrible of arthouse is back at Cannes and if the teaser is any indication, it will be another great piece of burn-your-soul filmmaking. Can't wait for the inevitable "walked out/booed" audience reports.

I haven't really been up to Cannes this year but this, Black KKKlansman and The House That Jack Built are the three flicks I'm most interested in hearing about.

Noé won the Art Cinema award at Director's Fortnight.

Cannes: Gaspar Noe’s ‘Climax’ Wins Directors’ Fortnight Top Prize

CANNES — Gaspar Noé’s “Climax,” charting the descent into physical hell of a young dance troupe, won the biggest prize out at Cannes’ 2018 Directors’ Fortnight, its Art Cinema Award.

“Climax” marks the French-Argentine Gaspar Noé’s return to his grand theme – the imperatives, joy and hell of physical experience.

Sold and co-produced by Wild Bunch, its first 45 minutes delivered what appears to be among the most critically-praised of cinema on this year’s Croisette as they capture a mesmerizing dance troupe rehearsal, club music performance as never seen before, Noé’s movie then chronicles the troupe members inadvertently drinking LSD-spiked sangria, then descent into writhing physical and mental hell in a second half which received a mixed critical reception. The Art Cinema Award is granted by the International Confederation of Art Cinemas (CICAE).

I will be seeing this in two days at IFFR but the rip is out now too, for those folks who want to experience true glorious cinema.

About to see this in a few minutes. A few members of the dance troupe were practicing ahead of the screening. Noe was present for the premiere yesterday too, I may actually see the gawd in person.

He wasn't there.

The dance performance by four members of the troupe was sick though, I will post some vids later.

The movie itself was everything I had hoped it would be. I don't think Noé will ever outdo Irreversible solely because of its massive sledgehammer impact but this came goddamn close. The two black guys had me rolling (one of them was also part of the dance performance and Q&A and that guy's charisma and energy is infectious), the dance scenes are glorious and once hell begins, Noé reigns. Can't wait to see it again next week in the biggest (sold out) screening of the festival.
