Earlier "Irrevocable" was a long shot that grew to the death of a man. The sky was spinning, violent and sexually assaulted, and the old days cannot be traced. This time, "Escape into Nothingness" no longer uses long mirrors to show off its skills, but the psychedelic colors are like a big explosion on the screen, overflowing and flooding the audience's eyeballs, which is very difficult. Pink, goose yellow, purple, dark blue, indigo..., colorful and lively and uncoordinated, it is completely a specially created electrical fantasy time and space. The film harmed many people in Cannes last year. Countless people scolded their mothers when they saw the last erotic scene. Its popularity is not inferior to the Danish dark and heavy taste "Antichrist."
Most of the time the film is composed of subjective shots. The shots act as the eyes of the protagonist. He takes drugs and runs away, his soul goes to heaven, and he travels freely in several worlds. There are the real worlds seen after taking drugs, the real worlds that frequently flash back to the past, the real time and space and the surreal illusory time and space. Super fragmented montage editing is used in the film, cross-repetition, and continuous time and space jumps, thereby transitioning. In contrast, "Escape into Nothingness" is better in the past tense than the present tense, because in addition to the car accident tragedy, the emotions there can also make people feel a little relieved and find the reasons for the collapse of some characters.
It is estimated that for Gaspar Noe, the end point of the western connection with the eastern world is Tokyo, Japan. It is modern enough and not as crowded as Hong Kong, and the local culture is also deeply ingrained. The protagonist has read a book, imagining the scene after death, but he never thought that death is actually very close to everyone. In "Treasure the Source", the weird patterns emerging from the chemical vessels are endless. Oriental metaphysics and occultism have helped directors and bald guys solve many problems, including how to resolve the fear and pain of death.
In the three episodes of Tokyo that were co-produced by the three major directors in the previous year, they all had different foreign visions, either alienated or extreme or warm. This time Tokyo is really the capital of the "Neon Country", a colorful neon world that belongs only to the night. It is so unreal, like a city model in an electric toy city, almost forced to light until later It makes people feel sick and nauseous.
Intuitively speaking, the viewing process of this film is rather uncomfortable, there are gimmicks, but it is too long. The subsequent series of scenes made many people unable to sit still. Few people would really hate such movies. This film can become another case of endless harm. It has avant-garde editing rhythm and electronic music, and the repercussions it arouses may completely surpass "Irrevocable". The previous work has been describing pallor, catharsis, and time irreversible. "Escape into Nothingness" tells the ultimate emptiness of life emotions, soul wandering, irresistible and unwilling to leave for a long time. Gaspar Noe is the creator of shadows, traumas and tragedies. He has always been obsessed with taboos in the eyes of the secular public and does not shun taboos. This movie full of nudity, drugs, sexual intercourse and striptease is gray and desperate, bad enough to make a fertilized egg not choose to come to this world, but with the help of the reincarnation point of view, the director made the two brothers and sisters separated by yin and yang remain inseparable. It's magical enough.
