Enter The Void


 Gaspar Noé's third film Enter The Void is a journey not into the "unknown", but more into the "what is possible". Everyone wonders about what happens in the afterlife. Shot in point-of-view perspective, this film captures an interesting approach to the big question that seems to parallel The Tibetan Book Of The Dead. Set in Tokyo, Japan in the neon-lit nightclub scene, main character Oscar is a small time drug dealer who gets shot by the police as a result of a sting operation gone bad. While he lays dying on the bathroom floor of a nightclub named The Void, he begins to hover over his own body. Drawn to any source of light he begins to float through walls, ceilings, and over rooftops in order to witness from above the events that unravel after his passing.
