Madonna’s SEX was a feat of genius marketing, and at the same time started a ”Madonna Backlash” moment, people decided she’d ”gone too far”, her Sex Teacher pose outraged some and bored others, and coming out with a double album ( Erotica) and an erotic thriller in a very short period of time, had sort of a boomerang effect. At the time it was criticized on one side for it’s raunchiness, on the other for its calculated desire to shock, still it was an unprecedented pop sensation, and its production values can be hardly topped.

Enter The Void, Gaspar Noe
Tokyo’s nasty underside, seen primarily through the eyes of Oscar, a druggie, whose sister Linda is a stripper. Oscar also has flashbacks to his childhood when trauma upends the siblings. Oscar’s drug-fed hallucinations alter Tokyo’s already-disconcerting nights, and after the police shoot him, he can float above and look down: on his sister’s sorrow, on the rooms of a love hotel, and on life at even a molecular level. The spectrum’s colors can be beautiful; it’s people’s colorless lives that can be ugly. And what of afterlife, is there more than a void?
5/5
