An excellent look at the effects work for the flick. Be warned though, this video may shatter the illusion of the movie for you, and can also contain some minor spoilers. I'm just too jazzed for this though that I couldn't resist.

Looks like IFC will be releasing this onDemand in the coming weeks, alongside with releasing it at arthouse theatres worldwide.

I fuckin missed it at the film festival three days ago. If only there was an emoticon to express the rage i'm feeling.

**ahem

I'm tired of constantly checking local theatre listing to see if this will ever play since IFC rolled it out to select theatres a few weeks back. Here it is, not a bad looking copy. Although I really wanted to see this in the theatre. Fuck it. This will have to suffice until the inevitable bluray.

I don't know why I forgot to post this, but it played around here in town a while back (3 months ago?  July? ? ? ?).  By the time I learned it was playing, it was the last day.  Played for less than a week.  Maybe the indy theater will catch it.  I'll have to email them.

Which program do you use to view viddies?

What a strange little beauty this is. Truly remarkable. I know Kev has also seen this last night, and he can probably articulate the experience much better. And it is an experience. I can probably liken the elation after the film to the first time I watched Eraserhead.
For those who don't know the story, it seems to follow the Tibetan Book of the Dead belief of life-death-life. Follows the process brilliantly through the light of our main character Oscar--who succumbs to death after a bad drug deal. Immediately following his death, we go through the evacuation process. He follows his sister, his friends, silently sees the consequences and their reactions to his death. We are then thrust into the "magical mirror" stage of the process. Pivotal moments in his past life are shown, and scattered, repeated. Then we go into the future...or, what can be seen as a major difference in time perception. This leads to the re-birth of Oscar.
Notice I say "we" a lot there, well, it's because a majority of the film is in first-person perspective. It's nothing I've seen done so perfectly. Everything from the DMT hallucination at the beginning, to the death-process, to the out-of-body sensation. I can see why this should have been seen in the theater and really regret that this fucking town didn't play it anywhere. Granted, I sat mere inches away from my oversized computer monitor to really sink into it as best as possible. It's hard to describe it all...it's a lot to take in. Noe is literally a magician. Some here may not be so much into it...it can seem very slow to some...meaningless even. It's nearly 2 1/2 hours long. Felt a lot longer to me, which is usually an insult to a movie, but not in this case...it's the biggest compliment I can pay it.
Enter the Void seems a lot more optimistic than Noe's previous exercises in Nihilism. It exudes serenity in death. Dare I say, it's a movie of hope.

That's all I got for now. I'll be watching it again when it's released on bluray in January.
