Closing Night — with a Live Score by CORIN
15TH ANNIVERSARY
“This is a grandiose hallucinatory journey into, and out of, hell: drugged, neon-lit and with a fully realised nightmare-porn aesthetic that has to be seen to be believed.”— The Guardian
Oscar is an American drug dealer living with his sister in Japan. Killed during a drug bust, Oscar’s spirit enters the astral plane. His journey through life after death takes him back to the past and through the present neon club scene of Tokyo after dark.
Gaspar Noé, a true outlaw filmmaker, cemented himself as the leading voice the of New French Extremity movement with his most challenging and exhilarating film: a hallucinatory meditation on life, death and rebirth, shot entirely in the first person. Described by Noé as a “psychedelic melodrama”, Enter the Void is a powerful, transcendent and immersive cinematic experience like no other.
The film is accompanied by an adaptation of the original score (which was a soundscape made in collaboration between Noé and Thomas Bangalter’s of Daft Punk fame) from Sydney-based Filipina-Australian electronic music producer Corin, a leading figure in performance art and sound design for theatre and club spaces.
