Enter the void









I went to see the new Gaspar Noe film 'Enter the void'. The film was shocking, psychedelic, explicit and mind blowing. I have never seen a film like this before. It didnt help that I had a few drinks before going to the cinema. The film was based in Toyko's bright coloured nightlife and is full of psychedelic fusions of colours and blacklight shots. When the film was over I was confused and alarmed with a bad headache. I liked how it showed a non religious take on what could happen after death and I loved
the unpredictable camera shots. Im still not sure if i'd watch this film again; but I would recommend it to anyone who likes creative and unique cinema. 

(The opening credits were amazing alone!)

Les Amants Réguliers








After years of having the dvd in my cupboard; I finally decided to watch the film yesterday. It was exactly how I thought the film would be. Regular Lovers is a black and white semi-romantic film based around the 1968 riots in Paris. Although the film could be perceived as boring
by many; I found the film quite laid back and relaxing. I loved the randomness of the conversations and the unpredictable relationship of Francois and Lilie.
I think the film showed a realistic and unglamorous portrayal of how Phillipe GarreI saw the events of May 1968.
