Enter The Void misses the point of psychonauting

Enter The Void entered a major buzzkill at around 20min with

the death of the protagonist (i mean, his dumb shouting "i have a gun!" was quasi-suicidal).!!protagonist reincarnating as his sister's babe I guessed once she hooked up with the bearded Leary reader!!incest hints, and traumatic childhold

...not fun, not really interesting. No wicked humour or stylish psychedelia to offset it. No cool music either. Tokyo? Apart from the neon, we barely knew her.

What was good? I enjoyed the immersive sweeping camera and 'point of view'. I liked the moody drone soundtrack. Potential to shoot a proper psychonaut film in this kind of style. But when I psychonaut myself, sex is often far from my mind. So much other stuff going on that - in the moment - is far more interesting. Gaspar Noe failed to tap into that.

I understood what he was going for, i just didn't enjoy it. 5/10. Props to the unique\* roving camera style and potential, but cannot fully recommend overall.

\*i say 'unique'...however i was reminded of the style Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up video from 25 years previous was shot in.

What did yous think of Enter The Void?
