Enter the Void Press Conference - Cannes 2009 (1 of 4)

Part 2: • Enter the Void Press C...
Oscar and his sister Linda are recent arrivals in Tokyo. Oscar's a small time drug dealer, and Linda works as a nightclub stripper. One night, Oscar is caught up in a police bust and shot. As he lies dying, his spirit, faithful to the promise he made his sister ­ that he would never abandon her - refuses to abandon the world of the living. It wanders through the city, his visions growing evermore distorted, evermore nightmarish. Past, present and future merge in a hallucinatory maelstrom.

I can't believe, such a ridiculous questions. I feel sorry for the crew. One of the best movies ever and very much ahead of the present time. Thanks for uploading this anyway. Cheers

[@dreamspacemedia]

Gaspar's facial reaction during the question at 6:42 is priceless.

[@yannickp3085]

yeah, sometimes I wonder if journalists who keep bringing up movie violence at festivals are really trying their best to bring a refreshing angle to the contention, or are they just filling up time to justify their presence.

[@RockBottomRiser21]

This film is fucking amazing.

[@DavidRandallCurtis]

Damn I love this movie!

[@lvkrosenkreuz3638]

"Life is violent" -noe

[@New_Millennium_Cyanide_Christ]

In my opinion Irreversible was really good movie really cleverly made. So I think this will be good too and I can not wait this!

[@TheCandyHole]

the audience sounds like they were expecting something like Avatar

[@Tomtuber1988]

Some of these questions are just embarrassing, Noe deserves more thought

[@ao3dfjeri]

The defensive response to the question of the sadness of the main characters' lives tells me the cast is not very self aware 🤔 Oscar's bad decisions regarding drug use and sales got him killed. Linda's indiscretions get her impregnated by her pimp boss, leading to an abortion on screen. Their brutally tragic lives are part of what makes the film impactful.

[@Dedication1234]

Where can i find this movie?!? I love Gasper Noe films.... getting ready to watch I Stand Alone and im pretty excited!

[@sjamesvfx]

these questions piss me off. terrible questions for an absolutely brilliant director.

[@CerpinTaxt1983]

i can't wait for this movie!!!

[@gailord3661]

wearing that orange jumper, he looks like he just busted out of jail heh.

[@gr8ape]

why does linda look like shes gonna burst into tears

[@MrButtcrackJones]

Come to the fabulous Plaza Theatre in Atlanta, GA to see this beginning this Saturday, November 27th, 2010. It's screening for one week every night at 9:00 EST.

[@polygon.fiction6514]

Over 10 years later, and both Vortex and Lux Æterna are playing at the Plaza.

[@Albanez39]

Gaspar is Argentine, not french...

[@StockAvuryah]

he's both, and mainly french

[@sweetjeesus]

@ph03n1xamb1t i missed the film at the cinema due to money issues and travel, the film doesnt come out on dvd in britain till april, you really think i was going to sit and wait 6 months to see this film when i could easily torrent it in perfect quality?

[@camillebal5779]

the director, producer and author is french, it happens in Tokyo and the actors are americans that's it

[@BennyGaberMusic]

@ph03n1xamb1t Settle down. Living in EGYPT, i'm pretty thankful of being able to watch this film on my laptop with speakers that have a pretty good sound quality. Not everyone lives in countries where art is appreciated so at least appreciate the people who like art.

[@queasy]

@Dedication1234 : its released in september , dont remember what date but september it will be available for streaming atleast, google it man

[@makondoo]

it is so awful how none of those reporters had anything to ask which is not totally worth mocking.. like no one of them got the movie in a slightest.. sad world

[@davdan9103]

is it possible to see this in french or with subtitles because the overdubbing is too much.

[@CancunMimosa]

@Albanez39 No, actually I was just voicing my sincere opinion of the movie after having watched it.

[@retrograpejuice]

Is there a non translated version of this video? I can't understand shit with that sloppy translation.. I speak french and english so I'd rather hear the original version.

[@Soldatoflife]

@DefenceSpeech I got the chance to see it in a theater here in Quebec (Canada). Let's just say that my eyes were annoyed by the flashing lights. I will simply say that the movie itself was disturbing to say the least ^^

[@ph03n1xamb1t]

@timsta88 I saw the film in the UK last November or December.

[@sweetjeesus]

@ph03n1xamb1t film comes out 25th april. film was out at cinemas in uk mid november. 6 month wait.

[@AttackTheGasStation1]

@Albanez39 French or not, that's a fucking good experience. A great movie. Like Irréversible.

[@pablo.tv.berlin]

hallo everybody. last week i was in cinema watching avatar and i felt asleep after the half. the same with fucking inglorious basterds. so when is this movie coming out? i cant wait anymore !

[@skrt68]

inland empire

[@retrograpejuice]

@godbuns I couldn't agree more, I can't believe the only thing those people ahve to say is criticize the use of low class life style (stripers, drug dealer, sex, etc) in a movie.. Since when do all movies have to feature noble people with noble jobs? WTF.. ever heard of opening your mind? I think that while this movie is not for everyone, this movie was fresh and awesome.. it's about time that directors try new stuff. This 3rd long movie from Gaspar Noé makes his work much more clear now.

[@tremontirocks]

@ph03n1xamb1t Whoa. Bro. Don't knock Krispy Kremes. Those donuts saved my life.

[@kwyjoboy]

where the hell is this movie?

[@CancunMimosa]

@Albanez39 So please, next time you want to make presumptions type out another comment.

[@GDCorsa]

@OdiumHG French Director.

[@fasolplanetarium]

@ph03n1xamb1t This is like saying that a record only sounds good on a surround sound system. It's all documentation. Art is relative to its environment and manifests itself given circumstances. I'd think you'd understand something so blatantly obvious given that our entire society is centric about relative representations of just about everything. Often times what renders the art after the fact is its audience, ergo your little pissy soliloquy makes this film appear inaccessible. Good job.

[@ldnkid]

@ph03n1xamb1t The film stars two American people, Gaspard digs the U.S. (see "Enter the Night" with Harmony Korine) - I'm not American, but you sound pretty ignorant to me.

[@CancunMimosa]

@Michelinejackson It is merely my opinion, albeit an inflammatory one, and has nothing to do with my real knowledge of the film medium. I thought the film was a terrible bore. If you like hokey camera work and no story then by all means enjoy. I've watched it 3 times, really wanted to like it, but found it utterly lifeless - and in need of some considerable editing. Please let me know which microcosm of film history you would like to hear about because I enjoy the discourse.

[@goodvibesallround]

The average American attention span is 3 seconds to be entertained. They would rather watch a crappy comedy, action or romance movie than a art house film that requires any brain activity. To ask people to sit and think for 2 hours about a film, a piece of art or a piece of music is becoming harder and harder.....it's really sad. I'm actually getting rid of my TV for good this week.

[@malcus8485]

Paleface I'm from the U.S and I loved this film. Don't group people based on stereotypes.

[@camillebal5779]

" film's industries" looks soooo annoying next to independent movies like "Enter the Void"

[@Albanez39]

@AttackTheGasStation1 yea...

[@monashioath5288]

These Questions -.- smh 🤦‍♂️

[@damiencaze]

Ca a l'air bien relou encore ça.

[@AlexK32]

well, i don't think americans have the talent to this kind of art, for ex. kubrick had it but he came to europe

[@Albanez39]

@OhNoItsGojira no shit captain obvious...

[@ph03n1xamb1t]

@xXJohnSmithXxaf The irony of you attempting to prove the inherent intelligence of America whilst spelling "laziness" with a y is substantial.

[@ph03n1xamb1t]

@fasolplanetarium I know that you are really expending much effort there in your desire to sound as if you have something to say on the nature of art. Using incorrect and non-existant terms such as "centric about" - (christ knows what you intended to say) does not help your case. Art is anything at all. There is no such thing as art. I think the last century had that dialogue.

[@tremontirocks]

@ph03n1xamb1t Whoa, bro: You're from Guinea! You reside in a nation rich in mineral, hydropower and agricultural resources but rife with problematic, transnational issues! You guys have Krispy Kreme?

[@ph03n1xamb1t]

@tremontirocks Whoa. Bro. Gnarly. Bodacious. Cowabunga.

[@jollyjosh951]

yeah. definitely smokin dmt

[@CancunMimosa]

Oh wow. Another filmmaker who wants to be Stanley Kubrick.
