Blu-Ray Review: Only Daring Should Apply to ‘Enter the Void’
Submitted by BrianTT on February 10, 2011 - 6:02pmCHICAGO – Gaspar Noe’s “Enter the Void” is one hell of a trip. Unapologetically inspired by experiences with hallucinogens, the film is such a unique, bizarre, and memorable experience that one has to recommend it simply for its audacity. You’ve never seen anything quite like “Enter the Void” outside of anime. The uncut version released on Blu-ray is too bloated, running nearly three hours, but there’s so much to like here that the film’s flaws can be forgiven.
Film Review: ‘Enter the Void’ Takes Viewers on the Next Ultimate Trip

This line pays subtle homage to the “2001: A Space Odyssey” poster prominently framed toward the end of Noé’s previous film, “Irreversible.”
