Enter the Void

Gaspar Noe is a director I'm really not familiar with at all. Everything that I have read about him and his films randomly seem fresh and interesting. I will admit after watching a little more than half of Enter the Void, his directing style is definitely different. It does have more of an artistic flair and feel about it. He really knows how to use color and camera angles to his own advantage to portray anything he wants. But the overall writing and structure of what is going on in Enter the Void, to me, was just... blah. It never really reached a point where I was just overwhelmed with feelings of joy, entertainment or artistic enjoyment. I just didn't, and ultimately couldn't care that the main character gets shot by the cops and the rest of the movie back tracks and shows his whole life before tracking to the point of where the film begins. It honestly just felt very long winded and unnecessary. 

Dear Lord. It's Paz De La Huerta. 

Well, at least the first person is actually through this guys eyes instead of some dumb ass holding a camera the whole time.

I want to listen to Lateralus from Tool.

Sounds psychedelic when you die, junkie.

Sorry son, but his sister is not gorgeous.

I guess now were going to see Gaspar Noe's version of what happens when you die.

I'm curious about a club called "sex, money, power."

Paz should've been a porn star.

Well, that car accident explains a whole hell of a lot.

  A blood pact - I didn't think kids still did that sort of stuff.

I don't know why Oscar's friend was making fun of him for banging that MILF. She's pretty damn hot if you ask me.

   Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs... fucking drugs.

 I already stated this, but I only made it through about half of Enter the Void before I just didn't care about it any longer. It's basically a very long, drawn out telling of a brother and sister that ended up moving to Tokyo and getting involved with huge groups of seedy people. And constantly pushing and abusing drugs. And then Oscar gets shot by the cops in a bathroom in a bar. And then the whole rest of the movie is from the perspective of his "spirit" and I just wasn't really all the enthralled with it. If you're interested at all in checking out an offering from Gaspar Noe, look it up. If not, don't bother. There's plenty of other films out there more worth your time.
