Enter The Void



By far one of the craziest films I've ever seen. It has all the aspects of a film that I would like, a great soundtrack, scored by Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, innovative cinematography by Benoit Debie, and a dark drama about young adults which takes place in Tokyo. The film is written and directed by Gasper Noe who also made Irreversible. Well equipped with special fx, the film does a good job of conveying the drug trips experienced by the characters and immersing the spectator in them as well. This film was definitive of trippy, with disorienting colors and camera movements designed to emulate psychedelic experiences. The film challenges the viewers to try to grasp reality, much like they would if they were on drugs. Enter The Void can definitely be viewed as "psychonautic" media as it is capable of inducing analysis of the viewers' own psyche.
