“...skewers the movie industry with playful contempt but also with an undimmed faith in the raw power of sound and image.”- Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

Arguably Gaspar Noé’s most visually audacious film to date, this Cannes-premiering hallucinatory fantasia returns to the big screen for one night only (never to be repeated!), with a secret selection of short films presented by Static Vision.

Long takes presented in split screen and flickering psychedelic editing mark this unique real-time experiment from provocateur and arch stylist Gaspar Noé (Enter the Void, Climax), funded by Yves Saint Laurent. As much a behind-the-scenes drama as an intense collage film, this exploration of witchcraft and control stars Béatrice Dalle as a film director preparing to burn her leading lady, Charlotte Gainsbourg, on the stake.
