One of the most anticipated cinematic events of the year, Gaspar Noe's ENTER THE VOID is a visionary thrill ride that's riveted audiences at the Cannes, Toronto, Sundance and SXSW film festivals. Oscar (Nathaniel Brown), a small-time drug dealer, and his sister Linda (Paz de la Huerta, Choke, Anamorph), a nightclub stripper, are recent arrivals in Tokyo. One night, Oscar is caught up in a police bust and shot. As he lies dying, his spirit, faithful to the promise he made his sister—that he would never abandon her—refuses to abandon the world of the living. It wanders through the city, his visions growing evermore distorted and nightmarish.

Noé shoots ENTER THE VOID from Oscar’s point of view, so when Oscar takes a psychedelic drug, we see the hallucinations he is having (note: the film contains strobe-like effects). Cinematographer Benoît Debie (The Runaways, New York, I Love You) allows the viewer to experience Tokyo’s underworld in a most unique way, sometimes floating above the city and watching the story unfurl below. Though destined to draw divided opinions, ENTER THE VOID is a bold and incomparable cinematic experience.

The long-awaited follow up to his controversial Irreversible, ENTER THE VOID is an immersive and mind-bending experience. The film is a visceral journey set against the thumping, neon club scene of Tokyo, which hurls the viewer into an astonishing trip through life, death, and the universally wonderful and horrible moments between.

"An exceptional work... What largely distinguishes it, beyond the stunning cinematography, is that this is the work of an artist who’s trying to show us something we haven’t seen before" – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

"There's no way to summarize the paranoid, terrifying and surpassingly beautiful lysergic odyssey between life and death on which Noé takes us... one of the most mind-blowing and ambitious feature films ever made." – Andrew O'Hehir, Salon

The film’s running time is 137 minutes; it is not rated, due to explicit sexual content, no one under 18 will be admitted
