From party to nightmare, a hypnotic cinematic experience.
French dancers gather in a remote, empty school building to rehearse on a wintry night. The all-night celebration morphs into a hallucinatory nightmare when they learn their sangria is laced with LSD.
With its incredible choreography and sequence shots, Climax is a hymn to life shot like a horror documentary.
“Climax is a celebration of living in the moment, or at least a tribute to visceral intensity of trying to survive each new one, and Noé includes his own creation intentions in that ethos."
