Enter the Void

French-Argentinian writer and director Gaspar Noé is one of the "enfant terrible" of French cinema who delivered another controversial film with his third feature, a visually stunning nightmare. The story about a brother and sister who are lost souls in Tokyo, one dealing drugs and the other working as an exotic dancer. After the brother is killed, his soul floats around watching over his sister while reflecting on their tragic and empty life. While Noé knows how to apply shock value, his film is as shallow as his one dimensional characters beyond its striking superficial surface. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
