Climax (2018 Film)
''Climax'' is a 2018 psychological horror film directed, written and co-edited by Gaspar Noé. Featuring an ensemble cast of twenty-four actors, led by Sofia Boutella, the plot is set in 1996 and follows a French dance troupe holding a days-long rehearsal in an abandoned school; the final night of rehearsing is a success, but the group's celebratory after-party takes a dark turn when the communal bowl of sangria is spiked with LSD, sending each of the dancers into agitated, confused and psychotic states. The film is notable for its unorthodox production, having been conceived and pre-produced in four weeks and shot in chronological order in only 15 days: although Noé conceived the premise, the bulk of the film was unrehearsed on-the-spot improvisation by the cast, who were provided no lines of dialogue beforehand and had almost complete liberty as to where to take the story and characters. ''Climax'' features unusual editing and cinematography choices, and includes several long ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
