Summary
French dancers gather in a remote, empty school building to rehearse on a wintry night. The all-night celebration morphs into a hallucinatory nightmare when they learn their sangria is laced with LSD.
More about this movie
In the mid 1990's, 20 French urban dancers join together for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest to share one last dance. They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl. Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night. If it seems obvious to them that they have been drugged, they neither know by who nor why. And it's soon impossible for them to resist to their neuroses and psychoses, numbed by the hypnotic and the increasing electric rhythm of the music. While some feel in paradise, most of them plunge into hell.
Reviews
Not sure what I think about this...it's weird, as gasper noe always is. A big dance movie, leading to lots of chaos. Ultimately I guess it's about the meaning of life, I suppose, and how we can get trapped into pleasure. But it does leave it open: what is the meaning of life?
Still not sure if I like this movie or not, it's intriguing, didn't like it as much as "Enter the Void", maybe that's because of the subject matter. Definitely watchable, though, unlike "Climax"
