A French dance troupe's party is wrecked when someone spikes their sangria with LSD.
This is a really well-made film. The visual style will be really familiar to anyone who's seen a Gaspar Noé film. Lots of long long long takes and bright colours and twirling, tumbling cameras.
There are two group dance sequences in this film. They are both utterly phenomenal ... the best thing that this film has to offer,
Noé seems to have never taken LSD, or really know much of anything about it.
I don't find this film to be shocking. Noé kind of lacks the courage of his convictions here. There's a lot of hypothetically shocking stuff in this film, but most of it happens off screen. The last part of this film is mostly people writhing and screaming.
This got old for me pretty fast. About the third time we were following someone down the long green hallway while people screamed in the background, I suspected that there wasn't really going to be any point to this.
I was right. At best, this is a really trite version of "Irreversible".
It's still well-made with a phenomenal soundtrack.
