I went to see Gaspar Noe's "Enter the Void" this week, a somewhat slow and demanding but extremely worthwhile and unique cinema experience. To be honest, I think I would've paid the ticket price just for the one minute opening title sequence alone. It's uncompromising, unforgiving, and absolutely amazing.



If you think it looks good in this YouTube clip (make sure you watch it in full screen 720p HD!), try to imagine what is like projected on a huge canvas in crisp sharp 35mm in a completely darkened theatre with a loud sound system. Pure genius. Even the obnoxious techno music is perfect and pure joy in this clip, which supports my theory that there is no such thing as bad music, it just needs to find its proper context.

Make sure you watch the whole thing -- it really kicks off after two thirds!
