"Enter The Void" eases me into sleep but firstly makes me heavily review existence. It's a Gaspar Noe film about a drug dealer living in Tokyo who gets fatally wounded during a deal gone bad. The movie ensues with his life flashing before his eyes before losing consciousness. As the main character leaves his body, I find myself coasting in delirium alongside with him. The prolonged shots of psychedelic eye candy numb my mind as it evokes me to recount memories of adolescence and my existence leading up to the very point of my "feel bad" state of mind. I eventually stop making sense of my reality and begin to just feel raw emotion that doesn't stem from any lived experiences. It also explores the lives of people tied to you and the repercussions losing somebody has on them both positive and negative.
Despite it being a dark fucked up environment these characters live in, I felt moved by the depiction of their world and imagination. This movie collects my stressors and blends it with heartwarming and traumatizing memories. Watching this allows a lot of emotional reflection but not quite catharsis which is why it's my anti comfort movie.

next semester my short films will be inspired by Sigmund Freud’s analysis of the uncanny. Something uncomfortable yet familiar, filled with desolate and liminal spaces.

This film is so crazy and i would have switched it off had i not been in a theatre. It made me painfully aware of my reduced cognitive stamina which i think must be a good thing.
