TIFF 09: Two clips for Gaspar Noé’s ENTER THE VOID (SOUDAIN LE VIDE)
Those familiar with Gaspar Noé’s previous feature, 2002′s Irréversible, have reason to be wary of Enter the Void, his latest rumination of the cruelty of life. Famous for the ten-minute stationary camera scene of Monica Bellucci’s anal rape, Noé explores the more stomach-turning head-trip elements of that film in even more disturbing grandeur. Noé continues to use cinema as a tool to challenge and aggravate. Experimenting with new technology that seamlessly enhances his visual style, he delivers a boundary-pushing experience that is sure to be talked about for years to come.
