For all those looking for a hallucinatory, over-the-top cinematic experience, MPI released Gaspar Noé’s way-out-there thriller Enter the Void on DVD
The first feature film from Argentina’s Noe since his controversial 2002 drama Irreversible, the European cult movie stars Nathaniel Brown and Paz de La Huerta (TV’s Boardwalk Empire) as a brother and sister from America living on the edge in Japan. And when we say “the edge,” we’re referring to their careers and lifestyles: he sells and experiments with drugs, she works as a stripper. When one particular drug deal goes wrong, the two find themselves trapped in the psychedelic, unrelenting world of nighttime Tokyo’s sordid underbelly.
Drugs, sex, music, lights, death — it’s all here and served up in the envelope-pushing style that has marked Noe’s career for the past 15 years.
Enter the Void has played film festivals all over the world and received a tiny theatrical release in the U.S. in September, which found the majority of respected film critics either loving it or hating it.
The DVD and Blu-ray discs carry list prices of $24.98 and $29.98, respectively.

Noe is French, not Argentinian. He might have been born in Argentina, that doesen’t make him an Argentine film maker.
You’re quite right, Mihajlo! I stand corrected. I’m actually a big fan of I Stand Alone, one of his earlier films. Tough stuff… Have you seen it?
