I think this one has been suggested before, but this is literally one of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. Visually I don't think any movie has been better than this one.
It's trippy. It's colourful. Sometimes it's disturbing. Enter the Void is a trip you will not forget. It's powerful on every level. Although the acting might be the only element that wasn't good, the rest of the movie was extremely well made. Gaspar Noé has strong eye for detail.
I highly recommend it if you're a moviefan and if you want to study film. One of the best trips I've ever done!
Shout out to this community. It's been a critical source of belonging and balance in my mental and physical health these last few years. Tomorrow I go for a check up colonoscopy and I've never been healthier. UC has been in my life for the last 12 years and I'm finally managing it well.
To all of those who are in the rough patch, hang in there. Persist.
PS - Titles are hard. Thought Zahir's quote from TLoK (Avatar series) was appropriate.

"I don't think is a good idea," I tell him. But I do not tell him why.
It is hard to put into words what grief has done to me lately. And I dont expect someone like him to understand. Samuel is your quintessential happy-go-lucky clown; the warm, gooey stuff that holds things together. Hell, he could start a riot in a graveyard with his spirit.
Meanwhile I, have been teetering on the brink. My grades have been in freefall this semester. I drown my sorrows at the bottom of a bottle; more often than not I wake up not knowing how or why I fell asleep in the first place. People keep saying "clean up your act", or "get over it", as if they are magical incantations supposed to undo the curse I carry. There is only one kind I loathe more than the ones that say these things to me - Samuel's kind. The ones that throw happiness around like confetti.
"Just give it a try!" he says with his 50,000 volt grin. "I swear it'll be something!"
"Fine," I say caving in. I do not have the energy to argue and he has too much.
"Say it with a smile, my man!" he beams.
It annoys the hell out of me when he says that. This, and the "I'm feeeeeling good!" he usually follows it up with.
I take the helm and put it on my head. I lie down on his couch, and close my eyes.
"Are you ready?" he asks me, with feverish excitement.
"Yes," I offer. My voice couldn't have been any more dead.
"Say it with a smile, my man!"
"Geez stop saying that, it's annoying." My retort does not seem to hurt him; just bounces off his perfect teeth. I begin counting backwards from ten, slowly. At five, I realize this was probably a bad idea. At two, I almost take off the helm. At zero, I push the button. A blinding light turns everything silver.
When my sight returns, I am in a small room. It is spotless, with white tiles that gleam from the tubelight shining brightly. Under it, is a bed. On it, is someone I have never seen before, but someone I am sure I know. His skin is ebony; he is almost bald, save for a few patches where the remnants of his hair grow thin and weak like an unwatered garden. It is eyes that tell me who I am looking at. Deep set green eyes. Any lingering doubts are vanquished immediately when I see a mid-teenaged Samuel kneeling at the foot of the bed, weeping copious tears.
"Help me," he says in prayer, tear drops staining the crisp white bedsheet.
"Come over here, you," the man says, his voice shaking unsteadily, but still remarkably upbeat. As Samuel walks towards the man,

So I just watched these two movies and got really interested in the subject. So is there any other good movie about afterlife that I should watch? It could be any genre, I really don't care
Sounds simple enough, right? Well check this out. If you break the bedrock at the bottom of the NETHER, and enter the NETHER VOID, you reach Heidi’s lair, where a new boss named Heidi resides.
Similar thing with the end. If you build up high enough, the sky will get darker and darker until you reach the end. But if you try to go any higher, you meet the long lost Aether.
I’m relatively new to public and am experiencing for the first time all that is uniquely terrible about it. It seems we take on way more work than we actually plan to do. I receive almost no training. The worst problems are barfed all over me by my manager and then I’m blamed when I take too much time to solve them (or frankly even try to solve them?) Everything “shouldn’t take long” but actually does. It all feels like a grift. Probably would have quit by now had I not read all the posts here saying how typical this is. Just tryna survive. This is basically a thanks and a rant, all rolled into one. Much love, fellow accountants.
Somehow found and decided to watch this film while stoned. Filmed from a perspective of a DMT high. Watching while stoned...OMG
here's link to trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJkPLYmUyzg&feature=share
Beyond Gaspar Noé's other work - seen it all! :)
Is it possible Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void" will have an influence on Kojima's latest? If you've seen it you may know what I'm talking about. The Tibetan Book of the Dead may be an influence as well. I've also seen a few members here post about similarities between playdeads inside and DS. Currently replaying through it and noticed the idea of playing as a child that controls adults seems to be a core idea the two games may share.
Getting killed through a closed door or around the corner ?? Damn bois , it makes me want to play some more
Enter The Void Podcast Ep 4- Quarantine Blues
Yo, we're a new podcast. This largely evolved out of inevitable conversations that a couple friends have when they get together. We're lefty millennials that are very entitled, looking for things to complain about, and like socialism but don't want to figure out how to pay for it besides taking other peoples money.
We return after the chaos of Covid19 had taken shape in the USA. In this new episode we discuss our personal experiences dealing with this unique situation. Also touched upon is the madness and market worshiping Trumpian response to the crisis. We also expand upon a prior discussion on the media shaping the election narrative, and exactly how Joe Biden got pushed into front runner status.
