Climax

From incendiary director Gaspar Noé (Irreversible; Enter the Void) comes a hypnotic and hallucinatory party that descends into delirium over the course of one wintry night. In Climax, a troupe of young dancers gathers for 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. In French with subtitles. (95 mins)

“Gaspar Noé’s Climax assaults the senses and scrambles the brain.” – A.O, Scott, The New York Times

“I was shocked to discover that I was actually … touched. Climax is a small miracle, and if this is Noé going soft (for him, of course), that might actually be a very good thing for the movies.” – Emily Yoshida, New York Magazine
