# Enter the Void (2009)

2009 · 161 min · Drama, Fantasy · Germany, France, Italy, United States, Japan, Canada


## Synopsis

Enter the Void is a 2009 surrealist art film directed by Gaspar Noé, from a screenplay co-written with his wife Lucile Hadzihalilovic. Set in the neon-lit nightclub environments of Tokyo, the story follows Oscar, a young American drug dealer who gets fatally shot by the police, but continues to watch subsequent events during an out-of-body experience. The film is shot from a first-person viewpoint with extensive uses of long take, which often floats above the city streets, and occasionally features Oscar staring over his own shoulder as he recalls moments from his past. Noé labels the film a "psychedelic melodrama".
