At this point I'm not really sure what to say about Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void. It is certainly still resonating with me. It features absolutely incredible cinematography and bizarre narrative-halting hallucinogenic drug induced light trips that reminded me of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. When a young American drug dealer is killed in Tokyo, his spirit remains behind and watches over his younger sister. It's a brilliant concept from the director of the hugely controversial Irreversible (2002), and an ingenious technical feat, but what a struggle at 160 minutes. Am I likely to watch it again? No. ***1/2
