Gaspar Noe, full-time provocateur, has made a new film that will split his audience. As always. Climax is of course not a "real" horror movie (contrary to the imdb genre definition) and also not as horrible as earlier works of Noes. Nevertheless, it's a movie you should watch at night. As a video retailer I advise: Climax is not a film you experience in daylight. I am and I have never been a friend of Gaspar Noes, but I was all the more surprised to enjoy Climax! Here we try to translate the uninterrupted energy of the protagonists through imagery. The music fits to this: very restless. The plot is simple: During a party a dance group mixes sangria with LSD and chaos develops. The pre-LSD half of the film is even stronger, thanks to the incredible dance sequences. Who knows, maybe Noe should direct a teen dance film? In Climax at least, he follows the dramaturgy of such films, divides the action into a series of dance numbers. In between, there are "solos" and interview sequences of the individual dancers (who are probably also "real" dancers). Here we learn more about their passions and fears. Then LSD is swallowed and Climax develops into a group number. Some will have noticed that Climax is less ambitious than earlier Gaspar Noe movies. But very effective! At least for those who wouldn't mind being trapped for a limited time in a house with stumbling young people.
