I've been trying to find information about the real story of dancers going insane, which the movie Climax is based on but couldn't find a shit. Anyone else interested in the topic who knows something about it?

I haven't seen it yet. I didn't care for Love so I wasn't in a hurry to watch Climax. Also the trailer looked like it was covering the same topics as before: partying, drugs, sex, etc.

Love is one of his weaker movies. Climax is all about loss of social cohesion and chaos. It may seem as if it lacks substance, and the dialogues are boring, but the potrayal of anarchy in the second part of the movie makes it quite interesting to watch, althought it is not for everyone.

Gaspar Noe is and shock artist (he revels in it as he proudly listed off the reception of his movies in the trailer) and liar to make the movie impact harder.

It's shit and third reason why I don't buy new books. first reason is that they are straight ugly, no matter who from and second barcodes Every director with self-respect should take Buñuel approach.
He's a pretentious hack, so I suspect that you are true, but what about producers? Can't it be their doing?

Ignore this guy. While he is a smarmy hack, Carne, Seul Contre Tous and Irreversible are worth the watch. Enter the Void is meant to be watched on drugs, it's boring otherwise.

If you haven't seen the early Gaspar Noe films, you should watch Angst first

That can be said about like 89% of all kino. Why is it somehow better when high? On what drugs? LSD? Wouldn't waste a trip on something from a fag I don't respect.

Also Angst is better if you skip the tacked-on explanatory prologue until afterwards. The director's cut is shorter and begins at a prison.

89% of everything.

It was designed to be a trip guide from the start it seems, nothing really happens except flashing neon lights and loose camerawork.
>Wouldn't waste a trip on something from a fag I don't respect.
Yeah that was my point.

It does a good job at portraying the emptiness and alienation of modern age, with the camera flying over peoples' heads, showing all the filth that happens in private, but generally I agree, this movie is too long to watch while sober.

Climax might have been based on a real story of a party where the punch was spiked. But I doubt there was so much chaos in any real world events.
This movie is a depiction of societal breakdown. In the first half the precise choreography would have you believe that everyone is in perfect harmony. But a mild disturbance tears apart the social fabric, leading to mob behavior and tribalism. Maybe this breakdown mirrors what's been happening in France -- there's a huge French flag looming in the room where most of the action takes place.
I noticed the typical Gaspar Noe protagonist is David. His short hair and cocky attitude resembled the lead actors of previous Noe films. In the second half David is completely impotent - beat up, called a Nazi by the black dancers, he loses his girlfriend to a lesbian, and a gay man tries to seduce him.
Now how many trannies were presented as female characters? I would say at least two - Gazelle and Emmanuelle. That shit creeps me out.
