After all that, after all the camera-freeing, it just wanders about on the ceiling. And when it isn't, its every movement is immediate. Direct. Noé goes to extreme lengths to carry the camera far away from its perch atop the tripod, and creates some breathtaking things for it to look at along the way, but that's ultimately all it does. It looks at things obviously or pointlessly. Simplistic, like its characters and plot. This is a "high-concept" arthouse film. It could have been so much better.

Cinema as dream. Nobody tries harder than Noé to ask, not what cinema is, but what it could become. His most ambitious venture to date, and one of the most daring and inventive movies of all time, but it is not without problems (including, for example, some questionable casting). Still, there are numerous remarkable aspects and sequences. It is, therefore, very difficult to attach a numerical value to the film. First viewing should be nowhere other than at a well-equipped large-screen cinema.

This is an incredibly silly, stupid, and shallow film. The cinematography is gaudy and the script is incredibly clumsy and brainless. I'm not being hyperbolic in the slightest when I say that some of the lines reminded me of The Room. Worse still is the acting, which only makes the writing seem that much more juvenile. To put it another way, Gaspar Noe is a child. Really, some of you are way too easily impressed by flashy colors and gratuitous nudity.

The best cinematic experience I've had thus far. The plot is very easy to simplify or use as an arguing point against the film, but it doesn't need to be any different. At times, I just felt entirely immersed by the perfectly (as in: perfectly) shot first person segments, like I wasn't in a cinema. I've never gotten that feeling from another movie. It's just masterful in technique/cinematography/immersion in a way I'd never experienced until now. Fuck this movie for being so good.

A unique experience. It will simultaneously bend and blow your mind. Never have I seen cinematography like this. The story is underwritten but who cares when you get shots like these. Many recall the techniques from Irreversible, some fastforward crane shots between buildings reminded me of Fight Club. There are images and scenes in this you will never forget. Forget about 3D, the future is in POV and the moving camera. Hopefully it will be reedited because the ending is unsatisfying.

A fascinating and at the same time long-winded look at life and death. The subject matter is quite banal, but at the same time brought in an immensely impressive way. The camerawork is simply INSANE. The experience as a whole wasn't profound or eye-opening, but pretty ballsy nonetheless.

1stvu (non-high): Impressive/interesting visually, but the story is just immensely who-gives-a-shit, so then when you stretch more or less the same trick out over 2 and half hours... well, it's an incredibly masturbatory effort. 2nd (high): While I was sorta right I was wrong. ETV is truly an experience and the kind of ambitious work that a filmmaker will be remembered by. 3rd(N-H): Still narrative probs. Plus, theater version this time and it is cut in ways it shouldn't. Watch the BR long one.

Best opening credits ever! Wondrous visionary captured explicitly well by the camera. Definitely a boundary pusher, not sure how many films get away with abortions shown on screen. Not to say that its only attempts of accelerating cinema is basic shock treatment as its a very unique watch. Only complaint that was actually quite disappointing is after around 90 minutes, there is a case of Solaris-syndrome (immense slowness) which is a little off putting.

It's quite hard to rate, because the visuals of this movie are absolutely incredible and impressed me a lot. On the other hand I was quite dissapointed by the acting and the extremely slow pace. I personally thought it could've been an hour shorter. This is a movie you should see in the cinema, it's a great experience, even if it's just for the visuals and the most awesome opening ever made.

Who else would be able to connect the question "What lies between life and death" and the experience of the ultimate trip than Gaspar Noé. Enter the Void is experimental, not conventional!! This is the reason why most people will hate this Flick, especially the slow pacing middle section. Opinions always differ about Noé and his movies. It's another dark, dystopian and gross movie. It's absolutely awesome and brave. We need more Noé's and less Hollywood bullshit!

I feel as though any little blurb I give will either be obvious as hell an ill conceived mishmash of random thoughts. Instead I'll just say this. I've thought for a long time now that it's fairly ridiculous to stage contemporary films like plays. Maybe that was necessary in the Golden Age of Hollywood when the cameras so damned fragile and unwieldy, but we've moved past that now. It's refreshing beyond words how Enter the Void manages to disregard all of these conceits we got from the stage.

Impressive long takes sure, but they are repetitive and serve no purpose in regard to the narrative. Some of the shots will leave you stunned and the first hour is mildly entertaining, but in all its glamour and glitter it is aimless and frustrating. Reminded of what it was like reading Joyce's Ulysses - style over substance - but where as the style serves a historic and narrative purpose in Ulysses, in enter the void the dependence on style is unnecessary and sometimes bordering the infantile.

I really, really wanted to like this movie more than I do. The opening hour and a half is just about the most mesmerizing, fantastical and hypnotic piece of work I've ever had the pleasure of seeing on film. The first-person perspective, the intense opening credits, the free-body experience and the amazing special effects and visual are such a feast for the eyes it's almost enough to forgive the rest of the slow, plodding and dull affair that follows. Gaspar needs to know when to cut back.

Noe is amazing with a camera. He has an extraordinary way of creating a mood that just makes you feel a certain way. He puts you in exactly the mindset you should be for what he's trying to show you. Ya, it got hypnotic and aimless for the last hour, but at the end I felt that it was worth it. I was starting to get confused, but tying in sexuality to the concepts of life and death that were already presented really completed the movie for me.

Extraordinarily stylish and a great improvement on the POV-movie compared to Lady in the Lake. I like the details with eyelashes closing and the trippie elements. But still the story is weak and so are the interpersonal relations. Is also incredibly boring at times, but still worthwile due to the fantastic eye for details. The scene where the camera is flying over Tokyo and ends up in an airplane is nothing but amazing, The ending could and should have come at least half an hour earlier.

Brilliant effects, editing, cinematography, sound design, use of music. Noe has advanced the art of filmmaking. The plot is also truly fascinating at points, and far more than simply "ooh, trippy nonsense". But... the middle section gets dull and repetitive. Some of the acting and dialogue is rather clunky. And it's awfully blunt and obvious. But I was mesmerized and by the end I was exhilirated and exhausted. In so many ways, it's his best work but there's no denying it could use some trimming.

Look, I respect Noé's vision and camerawork--there is no film with more complex shots in recent memory--but the fact is, I was bored. Every time I felt another one of those long transition sequences coming, I groaned. The first instances were spectacular, but they occurred much too often. Sex scenes, shitty acting, and the same neon colors were also all too familiar by the end of the film. It's a shame, really; had this been an hour shorter, it would have most likely been a revolution in cinema.

Behind all the fancy camerawork is a drama that is more underplayed than his last to efforts but as bleak as anything I've seen from Noé. The relationship between brother and sister is handled with great finesse and the back story told effectively, if a bit slow. Unfortunately, after 100 minutes or so the film get's increasingly shitty in it's pacing and looses itself in trippy cinematography without enough substance. But in the end the story is cruel enough to make it worth a watch.

I remained almost completely immersed in this film for the first 90 minutes. The obvious goal of this director was to knock over every "taboo" sign the film industry might have left. Tokyo's underground displayed fabulously for this endeavor. Then the film went on for an hour too long, then the plot got lost and brushed aside as if it was in the way and wasn't really the point. The ending was insufferable. I went from feeling captivated to exasperated.

One hell of a work of art. The cinematography and camerawork are stunning, the colors pop off the screen, the POV is excellently realized. It should be shorter, and is sometimes unfocused (the single-mindedness of Irreversible really seemed to help Noe) but it still stands as an wonderful experimental work. Certainly nothing like this has been made before. The ending is flat-out jaw dropping.

There is one good scene in the movie, but you literally and metaphorically have to sit through an abortion to get to it. Gaspar Noe has an amazing talent because he managed to make sex, a sex hotel, an abortion, life, death, drugs, and tits fucking boring. Don't tell me this is great just for the visuals, if I wanted to get long shots of pavement I'd go for a walk. This movie blows. Seriously, get over your pretentious hipster self and admit all this movie does is add up to a snorefest.

Such an annoying movie, mostly a pain to watch. The story is bland, the characters are plain and uninteresting thanks to the mediocre at best acting, and the editing/directing with the endless transitions was just unbearable and made the movie unnecessarily long. Two positive things are that some of the cinematography was really good and the opening credits were great, but that's hardly enough!

Yet again with Noe, repeated viewings bring much clearer structures into focus. He carefully, and successfully, uses a spiritual realm unseen before in cinema to imbue a singlular moment of life with all the meaning we say we perceive it to have, by demonstrating the rest of life as a continual process of destruction, death, and decay. His cacophonies of chaotic assaults are all intended to bring pure, direct resonance with a single, specific moment. That's where interpretation should start.

This makes Lost in Translation's Tokyo look like downtown Orlando. A lot of the drug talk is very stiff. I haven't done DMT yet, but if all I see during my first trip are some rings with tentacles I'll be extremely disappointed. A lot of reviews called this silly so I was not prepared for the exploitative parts (that car crash, sheeesh). Also, Oscar was an absolute idiot. He should've made Victor come to his apartment for the drugs and when caught he told the police he had a gun when he didn't

I could give this film a rating between about 40 and 95 and probably be able to justify it. It's long and at times tediously slow, but at the same it's an increadibly visceral and emotionally draining experience. I'm sitting here stunned after viewing it, and while I can scoff at some of the acting and the shallowness of the film's philosophy I simply can't get this out of my head. Everybody should watch it for the experience at least once. Whether it is any good or not is a different matter.

I really have no idea what to say about this. Visually amazing, stylistically brilliant, technically epic...plot? What plot? Okay so there was a plot...sort of. I watched this one night, decided to sleep on it to see if it made more sense in the morning but it made even less sense if anything. Basically it's a Kubrick film if Kubrick happened to be on hallucinogenic drugs the whole time.

It seems to struggle with its own cynical grasp of reality along with a juvenile conceptualization of spirituality as envisioned by Noe. The need for the characters to provide constant exposition in the form of banal unrealistic dialog is one of its most glaring problems aside from the mediocre acting. Despite the flaws it still has some of the most haunting visuals and soundtracks i've seen on film. This is a bold and memorable piece of work.

ETV doesn't tell us about afterlife- it tells us about this world: a reality of escapist desire. In Buddhism "void" is the goal outside our world of suffer, but for Noé it's This reality - its emptiness, but also its essence as the closest we might get to, well, anything. Using Bach as a symbol of eternity during the endless Freudian dreams and referring to "2001" through birth And abortion was inspiring. Still,the real revolution it offers lies at the astonishing camera technique and movement!

Noé, the virtuoso filmmaker whose exceptional control of the camera remains unmatched, takes you on one of the most visually arresting trips in years. His profound statements on family and loss were not as affective as the story developed -- even his outrageous technique began to grate, but it's definitely worth a watch for any film fan.

For such an ambitious attempt, plenty of flaws are to be expected, but the overall result is a magnificent piece of work that celebrates and degrades life, art, and film. Noe can do the incredible by portraying such beauty and ugliness in the world with ambiguous subjectivity. Visually and audibly stunning, the effects are literally out-of-this-world, but methinks Noe should learn some restraint, as the best moments in the film are the quieter ones.

I hated this film. The first half an hour explains the entire story. But there was twists during the way. The film was too long, but I just loved the zero gravity camera work. I hated it but I loved it at the same time. And there was a story behind. Irreversible was there, as was the camera work of Der Himmel über Berlin. I would not want to end up that kind of circle.

This is one of those films where I wish my future self would come visit me right before I press play and warns me not to. I can credit this movie with trying to be artistic. Yes, the cinematography is superb and they do tackle issues such as life and death. The length of this movie is unforgivable. Even if this movie was only 30 minutes long I would have still checked the time about 5 times throughout the movie. IT IS SO BORING. There are also very disturbing images peppered in the dull story.

I just watched George Harrison's final interview on youtube. In it, he laments: "I get confused when I look around at the world, and I see that everybody's running around, you know, as Bob Dylan said: "He not busy being born is busy dying." And yet, nobody's trying to figure out, what's the cause of death? What happens when you die?" George, Gaspar Noe is trying to figure it out. Now thank him for cinematically cumming on your face. This is what you wanted, wasn't it? WASN'T IT??

So hard to rate this film. Really two films that you unfortunately/fortunately can't separate. The first is an exploitative, sensationalist, misogynist piece of ironic trash. The second is one of the most visually stunning and innovative films I've ever seen. It's not just that the visuals are great or even the unique gimmicks that are used to surprise and awe. It's also how well they're used to match the psychedelic-Bardo Thodol theme. Should be half as long. Watch under the influence.

One of the most ground-breaking and extraordinary cinematic experiences of all time. It pushes the medium to a whole new dimension, actively making cinema a mind-altering drug.

Exhilarating in its technique, but stultifyingly repetitive and one-note in its narrative urgency (or lack thereof). While the thematic heart of the film lies in its treatment of death ("the void") as the ultimate drug trip/out-of-body experience - ending either in reincarnation or repeating as an endless cycle - that doesn't excuse the film for being so shallow. Still, its ambition and technique is enough to give it some value. To be honest, I wish it had eschewed plot entirely.

Noé has outdone himself this time. Enter the Void is the most disturbing film I have ever seen. It's like fucking psychological warfare on the viewers. Visually and thematically it is stunning and highly original. Overall, this film is like a bad trip - not something you would care to repeat, but very rewarding when it ends. Luckily I only took a half of acid tab before watching it.

Update after watching the director's cut in a proper cinema 13 years later: Even more traumatizing, beautiful, bizarre than I remember. Feels like a technological landmark in cinema that hasn't exactly been bested since.

An absolute gem of a movie. The visuals alone stand above many films I've seen. The entire movie really transports you into the DMT trip. The title sequence and opening credits are now iconic and is the best marriage of typography and music I've experienced. Highly recommended.

If you want to see a movie that will make you dizzy with strobe lights and a top down spinning camera, that lingers on each scene for about 5 minutes too long; all centered around a non-existent plot, I would say this movie is for you. I was slightly intrigued until *SPOILER* he gets shot, at which point the next hour and a half of movie could have been summed up in about 20 minutes.

story ends in 30 minutes, all the colours and visual effects stop being interesting in an hour and the other 100 minutes are just "waiting for the end to come"-- the "disgust the audience" approach is no longer revolutionary ... Tokyo is kinda cool ,though

It's brilliantly shot with lots of great ideas and visually stunning...which lasts for about one hour. after that it becomes an an infinite loop of random flying and porn scenes and you just sit there and hope for it to end...

I don't know. The acting was atrocious. And Noé's desperate need to shock was laughable -- especially during one "penetrating" scene. But, it was completely unlike any movie I've ever seen, and I can't get it out of my head. If it were 50 minutes shorter and had decent actors, this could have been a real classic. And, with a a different, less provocative director.

It's visually exquisite. It's beautifully and impressively shot. However, I wondered sometimes if the camera-work overshadowed the actors and their performances. All the actors were great though. I loved its use of first-person and third-person perspectives. This film is certainly not for everyone, but if you're looking for not just a film, but an experience, here it is.

Stylistically brilliant but stunted by repetitive content, making the experience thoroughly engaging and awesome for the first hour and legitimately boring for the second. Its cohesion is so far gone by the end that ambiguity doesn't even describe it, which may be intentional, but it doesn't make it any less dumb. It's unfortunate because there's obviously talent at work here.

Until about the one and a half hour mark, "Enter the Void" is a highly visual, highly meditative, highly original (the use of POV camera to delve into the oddest details of a scene) and just plain mesmerizing experience. Unfortunately, as the soul's journey continues, Noé sticks with his visual show-offs and cheap shock value (let's show some lesbian sex cause it's edgy). The film remains trippy until the end, but I know there's a 100' masterpiece trapped inside these 160' of gorgeous mess.

Engaging and labyrinthine movie. The plot itself is paper-thin and, by the end at least, rather predictable and disappointing, but what Noe does with time is, again, something very special indeed.

Trippy and very well done, even if it goes on a well beaten (almost cliche) motif-path. Saying it would be a spoiler. But do give into the neon, really worth it!

God help the costume designer, because I think I missed their credit… Criticising a such brazenly ornery piece of audience provocation such as this is really a fool's errand, but still, while engrossing and even hypnotic for the first hour or so, this does eventually become too much of a good/erratic/provocative thing; arguably would have worked much better shorn of an hour especially as his cast seem to shudder and collapse beneath the weight of these emotional, melodramatic characters.

I love colors, and I like music, but expected more from this one. It also was way too long - particularly the CGI transitions were interesting at the beginning, but got annoying soon as they were just fast enough to not really convey a feeling of place and so frequent as to interrupt any other developing atmosphere. Still enjoyable though!

Was annoyed at first, but then I got into it about 15 minutes in when the makings of a narrative start. It's a movie where you have to go with the flow, so I was ok with a lot of the strangeness that follows, but it gets really repetitive and tiresome and by the last half hour I was just waiting for it to end. It's an interesting experience, but too long by an hour.

One of the most visually stunning film I've ever seen. There are shot's in EtV that put you in the main character's shoes in a way that makes the entire chain of events unfolding before you so much more uncomfortable. Like a nightmare through someone else's eyes followed by a horrible out of body experience.

Enter the Void has stellar camerawork, but the rest of the film is so meaningless that it's nothing but a void.
