We’ve been anxious to see Gaspar Noé’s divisive “Enter The Void” ever since it started making the festival rounds last year, but all we’ve managed to see so far is a brief teaser, a slightly longer Japanese trailer and an epilepsy inducing credit sequence set to LFO’s “Freak.”
However, a clearer and calmer look at the film has arrived in shape of the French trailer. Thankfully not set to propulsive, clipped beats, this spot emphasizes the dreamier, though no less seamier side of the film. The film follows small time drug dealer Oscar and his sister stripper Linda who arrive in Tokyo. Oscar is killed one night during a police bust, but vows to keep his promise to look over his sister and wanders through the city while his visions become more nightmarish.
IFC acquired the rights to film that, at nearly three hours long, will be sure to test the endurance and patience of most audiences. That said, we can’t wait to see what director/provocateur Noé has in store for us. “Enter The Void” will hit theaters and OnDemand in September.
